hi!! what was the name of that dog trainer(s?) you mentioned watching before getting hugo? i'm considering a puppy and want to be able to train this little dude like a boss TIA :]

omg I was watching McCann Dogs!! I watched so so so much of their training vids before bringing Hugo home + during his puppyhood and it helped so much. these are some of the ones that I really Studied early on to give me a blueprint of how to start from ground zero w my boy

#it was good to have goalposts for the first couple months #and the ones where they take you through the first day of bringing a puppy home were amazingly helpful #they're also the reason why i was able to crate train hugo #sergle answers #it is nice to have it broken down bc it feels like there's so much to learn but when they're babies you're really doing like #very foundational skills and it's lots of simple repetition and it's super rewarding #having them learn their response to name and learning what Yes means (or the clicker if you do clicker training)#bc if they know their name and they know Yes then learning everything else is easier #it feels really really good to teach all the skills w positive reinforcement
