You have two seconds to tell your puppy if you like or dislike what they're doing.
Sounds tricky right?
But wait there’s more because even if you do tell your puppy in time, if you’ve not actually conditioned the meaning of your words, then you’ve not actually communicated with your puppy at all.
And that means you could have the best and most expensive treats in the world but your puppy may never repeat the behaviour because it thinks you were rewarding something else entirely.
Luckily Miriam is here with this episode of Perfect Puppy Podcast to help you effectively reward your puppy.
Your puppy does not belong to your child. If your child needs your support to look after themselves they can not fully look after a dog.
Your puppy belongs to you and you are raising it alongside your child.
In this episode Miriam breaks down the dos and don’ts of raising a puppy alongside raising your child - starting from bringing a baby into the family all the way through to teenage years!
Understanding the four stages of how your puppy learns and processes the information you provide is very important.
It allows you to understand your puppy better and learn not to rush the training process,
Rushing will leave you hitting a wall in your puppy’s training - you’ll end up struggling and your puppy will be confused.
So in this episode Miriam explains the four stages of how your puppy learns so you can get the best from them.
Toilet training is probably the most important thing you need to train your puppy. Every puppy and dog needs to know where they should and shouldn’t go to the toilet.
Puppies don’t have full control of their bladder until they are 9 months old so you’ve got 7 months of managing your puppy and their toilet behaviour.
So in this episode Miriam explains the best ways you can teach your puppy this essential skill.
The next stage of lockdown easing is just days away in England and with it comes the opening up of the insides of cafes, pubs and restaurants.
Visiting the inside of these places hasn’t been allowed since the beginning of the year or longer if you were in local lockdowns at the end of 2020.
So you and your puppy are off to uncharted territory as you navigate enjoying that first pint, pizza or coffee indoors surrounded by others.
Miriam has the best advice for you to prepare for this with your puppy.
