🚨 Are you accidentally setting your service dog puppy up for failure? 🚨

You just brought home your future service dog, and you’re ready to dive into training—but WAIT! Before you start teaching those common pet dog behaviors, let’s talk about 4 things I never train my service dog puppy… and why.

Some of these might surprise you (and I know #3 is gonna be controversial 😬). But trust me—what I train instead makes a huge difference in my dog’s success!

Plus, avoiding training these behaviors is way more efficient than having to un-train a problem behavior later on!

I don’t train stay or wait. I think they pick those up automatically and are implied.

Wendy

I know Denver got his CGC not too long ago. Don't they require an auto-sit for that? I don't want to teach it but the CGC instructor says it's necessary for the test. Thoughts?

DOGGY•U

They do not require an auto sit on the test. You can talk to your dog the whole time and cue the sit with verbal or physical cue. But check out this month's deep dive and i'll go into more depth on the requirements for sure!

Wish I knew about avoiding “leave it” ! Leave it said all day long at 9 months old 🙄. Since she responds well to her name do you think a switch to using her name instead will still be affective?

DOGGY•U

I'd work instead on training offered attention and the distraction as the cue to look at you instead of having to ask for her attention all the time. You risk dulling your name cue.
