    Exercise, enrichment and chewing needs

    • Dogs all have their own individual needs. Even dogs of the same breed can be vastly different in exercise, enrichment and chewing needs. 
      • If we aren’t meeting our dog’s needs then eventually there will be problems. For example, puppies who aren’t getting their chewing needs and their play or enrichment needs met while they are teething, are going to chew and puppy bite people more often. 
      • Most adult dogs (and the occasional puppy) can handle a few days or a week of not having enough exercise or mental enrichment but consistently not getting enough will result in the dog finding their own puzzle to figure out and their own way to get tired and it probably won’t be through a desired behavior. 
      • Sometimes, people get a dog thinking that it’s going to have the enrichment and exercise needs of a mellow lap dog but the dog has the enrichment and exercise needs of an endurance athlete. We can’t change what the dog’s needs are. 
      • We can definitely help you teach your dog how to be calm and we can show you how to fulfill your dog’s exercise and enrichment needs in a way that fits your schedule. Gratefully, in a lot of situations, the dog needs more mental enrichment and not as much exercise as the owners think. But sometimes there is a mismatch between the owner’s expectations and the dog’s needs.  

      Let us help your puppy be the best puppy that they can be!

      Great Manners

      Your puppy is learning to listen to a variety of people! That makes it easier for your puppy to learn that it’s also fun to listen to you.

      Social skills

      Your puppy is learning the best social skills. We want to prevent dog aggression and getting kicked out of doggie daycare in the future.

      Learning to be separated from you

      It’s important that your puppy learns to be separated from people. Crate training and separation training are challenging skills and we address them thoroughly at Puppy School.
