Dog Training Schedules & Tips: Structuring Success for Puppies to Senior Dogs

Join experts Marty and Laura as they share practical scheduling tips, socialization hacks and communication strategies for training dogs of any age, from baby puppies to older rescues.

Episode Highlights:

• The “3-3-3” Training Method: Discover how practicing three simple things, three times a day, for just three minutes can build a highly effective training routine for young dogs.
• 100 Experiences in 100 Days: Learn how to easily socialize your puppy even with a busy schedule, using simple items around the house like different textured bath mats or new safe foods like cantaloupe.
• Mastering Emergency Commands: Find out why teaching an “emergency come” is crucial, and why running away from your puppy (or laying on the ground!) is a better strategy to get them to come than chasing them.
• Clear Communication: Understand why dogs read your tone and facial expressions more than your actual words. Marty and Laura explain the importance of being firm, fair and consistent, and why your entire family must use the same vocabulary for commands.
• Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks: Learn how to use a “long line” for older rescues and why breaking new boundaries and tricks into bite-sized pieces (back-chaining) sets them up for success.
• Common Pitfalls: Learn why yelling at a barking dog just makes them think you are joining their “bark-a-thon,” and how we accidentally train our dogs to hide their potty accidents.
