Crew, the Dalmatian puppy in this video, came to us for our Puppy Enrichment Program. He was born deaf. Many people see that as a disability and wonder, "How do I train a deaf puppy?" First, let's just point out that Crew definitely doesn't think he has a disabilty, so it's pointless to treat him like he is disabled. Humans struggle with this because our primary senses come from our eyes 👀 and ears👂which makes us think a dog will struggle without its hearing. But we have to remember that a dog

A glimpse into our Puppy Enrichment Program. I see so many people doing "puppy training" by using food to excitedly teach commands during puppyhood. Instead of just pumping treats to try and get an aroused dog to do physical positions, what I focus on is creating a calm mindset who willingly follows the direction of their pet parent, their leader. In this video, I have two of our Puppy Enrichment Program puppies, Ruby and Dolly, spending time with me in a home setting with my balanced dogs. Bala

This is obviously something we should never allow our puppy to practice, especially a power breed puppy. While this may seem funny or cute now, allowing this puppy to practice this behavior can lead to major problems long term. Some may say its all genetics.

When people get a puppy, in general, they are usually WAY too focused on trying to figure out the tools and techniques (the training) vs. how to actually connect, communicate, and develop a healthy relationship to parent/lead the puppy.
