Your once-eager pup might start ignoring recalls, pulling on the leash like a freight train, or barking at every little noise. This phase can be frustrating

In the early 20th century, a horse named Hans captivated the public and the globe. Referred to as Clever Hans, he possessed remarkable intellectual abilities.

When you hear “dog boarding,” you might picture a kennel with rows of cages and a bored pup staring at the wall. Spoiler alert: that’s not reality anymore.

We use slow integration and distance training, with access to the pack as a reward for calm and focused attention for young dogs showing signs of reactivity

Let’s be honest - dog care isn’t just about feeding and walking. Dogs need mental stimulation, socialization, and training that fits their unique personalities. The Puphaus understands this deeply. Their services go beyond the basics, blending daycare, training, and behaviour support all under one roof.

Plus, training helps prevent unwanted behaviours like chewing, barking, or jumping on guests — all of which can be stressful for you and your neighbours.

Dogs rely heavily on reading facial expressions and body language to understand their environment. When the pandemic forced people to stay 6 feet apart and wear masks, puppies missed out on crucial social cues. Mature dogs adapted better because they had already learned to read human faces and emotions. Puppies born in late 2020 and beyond faced a confusing world where their human companions seemed scared and distant.

Dog behaviour modification is a process that helps change unwanted behaviours in dogs by understanding the root causes and applying consistent, positive techniques. It’s not about punishment or dominance but about teaching dogs what is expected of them in a calm and assertive way using body language and energy.

The most effective trick I have found is teaching your dog to walk beside you using the "heel" command combined with immediate feedback. This means the moment your dog starts to pull, you stop walking or turn and walk in a different direction, giving the dog zero attention. You only move forward again when the leash is slack, rewarding the dog for calming down with a pet or a treat and encouraging your dog to stay close.
