Most puppy advice is a list of commands
Sit! Stay! Leave it! None of it explains why your puppy listens one day and completely ignores you the next! The real answer isn’t more commands. It’s your puppy’s nervous system. A puppy who is overstimulated, overwhelmed, or unsure of their place in the world can’t listen, no matter how many times you repeat yourself. The Puppy Proof Program is built around regulating your puppy’s nervous system first, so listening becomes their default, not a battle. This is the exact method I have used with many of my clients puppies & developed and tested raising my own Belgian Malinois, Elsie! from day one! It works the same way for a puppy coming home for the first time or a rescue dog settling into a brand new environment.
