Episode #286 Teaching Your Puppy to Be Flexible

Dogs thrive on routine—but what happens when that routine changes? In this episode of The Puppy Training Podcast, we talk about why flexibility is such an important skill to teach your puppy and how you can help your dog become confident in new and changing situations.We’ll cover simple ways to practice flexibility, including taking different walking routes, sleeping or settling in different places, working with different handlers, and experiencing new environments. The goal isn’t to make your puppy’s life unpredictable—it’s to teach them that different doesn’t have to mean scary.When puppies learn that their skills travel with them, they become more confident, adaptable, and better prepared for all the changes life brings. Instead of relying on predictability, we can help our dogs develop the confidence to think, adjust, and settle wherever they are.Listen in and learn how to raise a puppy who can say, “Things are different—and I’m okay!”Support the showFollow us on social mediaInstagram @BAXTERandBella Facebook @TheOnlinePuppySchool YouTube @BAXTERandBellaSubscribe to our site for FREE weekly training tips!
