We love our puppies, but we often misunderstand their nature

"I now see my pup through a totally different lens. If I had tried to use the "old" way of training, I'm afraid I would have suppressed the very sweetness that makes him so special. Also, his response to direction is wonderful
and most important we have so much fun together. Again, I don't
think the "old way would have fostered the same responsiveness and
fun. As always, thanks so much for your commitment and patience. We
really appreciate it"!
- Stacey

Trying to live in a house with a puppy is the number one cause of problem behavior. It is just plain not fair to put a puppy into a situation they are not mature enough to handle. It’s not right to expect them to act in any other way but like a complete chomping, ripping, jumping machine. I never let my babies play with knives but as adolescents they chop like chefs. I apply the same principle to the puppy. It really does amaze me that people think a puppy somehow suffers from not living in an environment they clearly can not handle. Many people end up feeling frustrated, angry, and guilty. As they adore their pups beyond comprehension.

I believe we all have a lot to learn by exploring the feelings we have about having a puppy be our plush toy, by needing to cuddle it, by thinking it needs to be with us all the time.  Dogs are in our lives to help us see ourselves better, what better place to start?
