Puppy Culture Potluck: Ep18 - Getting ”Firm” with Teenage Dogs

This week’s question is about your changing relationship with your puppy through his teenage months:

"I was talking with a very respected breeder about my ten-month-old Bull Terrier and she told me that this is the age where I need to start being ‘firm’ with him. What does she mean by ‘firm?’"

In this episode I explain:

• What we mean by “firm”
• Your process for deciding when and how to be “firm” as your puppy matures.
• Why being “firm” is important as puppies mature into teenagers, but inappropriate and harmful for young puppies.
