Puppy knowledge hub
Understand common puppy challenges and respond without punishment.
Puppy behaviour changes with arousal, sleep, teething, learning history and the environment. Instead of reacting only when a problem appears, look for the pattern around it: what happened beforehand, what the puppy did and what happened next. Management, rest and appropriate outlets can prevent repeated rehearsal while new skills are taught.
Track when biting, barking or frantic behaviour is most likely.
Reduce difficulty and provide an appropriate alternative before frustration escalates.
Seek qualified help for severe fear, aggression, persistent distress or sudden behaviour change.
