Happy Barkday to Me!!!

Congratulations you and your puppy have made it through the first year of puppyhood. This is often thought of as the most challenging year of a dog’s life, and we want to assure you that all of the hard work and affection you put in is going to pay off for years to come!
What'sNext?
So what’s next? You might be asking. My furbaby is full grown, or just about there, and he/she still acts like a goofy toddler flopping all over the house and yard. The puppy silliness and excitement lasts well into the adult years. Your pup still has a lot of energy that needs to be used up with lots of exercise, mental stimulation, and training. So keep it up! Your pup will start to mellow out more and more each year. After about 7 years old, your pup will enter the Senior years and you will notice a considerable slowdown.
A Quick Note
When tackling a challenging behavior that is ingrained in your pup, such as barking, aggression, jumping up, etc. You will need to practice in several short lessons over a long period of time. These learnings won’t be fully realized for your pup the first time, but with a lot of practice, and patience, you will see results over time. We promise!
