   Ep. 223 - Raising A Puppy

   The biggest mistake people make with puppies? It starts on day one… and most don’t even realize it. Today on SPEAK! A Dogcast, we’re breaking down what it really means to raise a puppy the right way, starting with Raising A Puppy and the foundation that shapes everything that follows. From there, we get into Dog Body Language so you can start understanding what your dog is actually communicating before small issues turn into bigger ones. We also feature University of Louisville in The History of Animal Mascots 101, and wrap things up with a listener Q&A. You’re in for a real treat!

You're going to walk in with your puppy and you're going to work through these commands. Sit, stay, lie down. Good. They go to get up. You redirect, correct it. Nope. Sit. Good.
