Avoid these common slip-ups and become the best paw-rent you can be!
Skipping Basic Training
Without training, dogs can develop anxiety and poor habits. Start with sit, stay, and recall early.
Using Harsh Discipline
Yelling or punishing teaches fear, not trust. Use positive reinforcement instead.
Not Socializing Your Dog
Dogs need to meet people, pets, and environments early to avoid aggression and fear later.
Feeding Table Scrap
It may seem kind, but many human foods are harmful and reinforce begging behavior.
Skipping Vet Visit
Puppies need regular check-ups and vaccinations to avoid serious health risks.
Not Giving Enough Exercise
Bored dogs act out! Daily walks, play, and mental games are essential for behavior and health.
