AVOID Common First Week Home Puppy Training Mistakes 

Your videos are so helpful! I made so much progress training my puppy he is so obedient to our commands, using your tips since he was 8 weeks old, he just turned 8 months!

Very helpful info! Troubleshooting the first days issues is so important. Thank you!!🙏 XO from Greece

Thank you for such useful and insightful information.

I have adopted dogs for nearly 60 years ranging in age from 6-8 weeks to 3-4 years old, but I'm at a loss for this one. I adopted a rescue dog about 2 weeks ago. He's maybe 9-10 mos old, 20 lbs, possibly spaniel/pom mix (they think). He was picked up as a stray and taken to a shelter where he was put on the euthanasia list before the rescue took him. It was a large rescue with about 160 dogs and he was there probably 1-3 months. He loves people and other dogs, he goes into his crate and stays there without barking, he's doing pretty good with sit/lie down/stay, though he backs up a step or two before sitting. I work with him daily several times a day for about 5-10 min each time. The biggest issue is his nipping/biting. He'll mouth a bit occasionally, but when he gets excited his lips pull up in almost a snarl and then he starts nipping/biting. He doesn't appear aggressive in other situations. Most of the time if he's calmly chewing on a toy I can take it from him with no attempt at biting as part of training. He has a house line on and if he's getting the zoomies in the house I try to step on it to stop him before he gets himself too excited, then he starts to nip my feet/ankles or try to jump to go for my hands. If I then try to pick up the leash he'll go for my hands. I've tried taking his collar and holding him until he's calm the way I've seen in your videos but when I release him he starts trying to bite me again and we go through the process again.This type of biting seems to only happen when he's really excited and it can take several minutes for him to calm down. While I've had many dogs I don't remember having one that seemed to be so heavily invested in the biting. I haven't been able to find videos addressing this type of issue for an older pup. I signed him up for a puppy training class that starts in 2 weeks. If this can't get solved soon I will find a trainer to take him to for one on one help. But in the meantime any suggestions would be welcome. Other than the nipping/biting he's a pretty good puppy.

My two month old puppy just will have nothing to do with the crate. He just cried and cried for hours when put in there. The pet store suggested a play pin so I try putting him in there with of course his bed and a few toys. It’s better but the last few nights in the play pin he has started crying again when first put in for awhile and very early 3am, in the morning. Any suggestions to get him better use to the play pin, or trying the crate again? I have a two month old Goldendoodle. This has really tested my patience with the lack of sleep, or interruption of sleep.

Hi I've been watching your videos and making progress with my rotweiller puppy who's now 9 weeks old, he's been with us for one week now. So many treats to reward what is best to give and when? As I want to do right by Hades health. What do you recommend. Kibble cheese chicken etc? Tia x
