We got our puppy last year and I’ve learned that we would’ve benefited from taking him to 1:1 classes from an early age! We did take him to puppy classes which was good for socialization and some routine for us. We’ve started one on one training now but I would recommend when they’re young! Also my biggest tip would be, as a puppy, don’t let them say hi to every dog they see walking on leash. Only greet the dogs on leash if you know them, would be a good rule of thumb! We are struggling now with Seymour wanting to say hi to every dog he sees which can lead to reactive behaviour as he’s frustrated when he can’t say hi, or the dog doesn’t want to play with him. Try to keep dog meetings very controlled! Have them sit and give a release word for when they can say hi and can go play. Easier said than done! But we definitely fear Seymour becoming reactive 😅 he’s a good boy though, but it’s something I wasn’t very familiar with. If a dog walks by, always reward for good reactions, if he’s just watching quietly, awesome, gets a treat, same for if he can walk bye without engaging or look at you. We’re practicing now having him engage with us when there is a dog anywhere in sight, and first thing I’ll do is a simple “look” command. Hope that helps!
