@timber_taylor_doodles: Teach Your Puppy to Wait at the Door One simple skill can make a big difference in your puppy's safety: waiting at the door. Instead of rushing outside the moment the door opens, teach your puppy to pause and wait for your permission. This can help prevent them from bolting into the street, chasing distractions, or running out of the house unexpectedly. Here's how to start: 🐾 Walk to the door with your puppy on a leash. 🐾 Ask for a sit (if they know it) or simply wait for them to pause. 🐾 Slowly begin to open the door. 🐾 If your puppy moves toward the opening, calmly close the door. 🐾 When they remain still, praise them and reward them. 🐾 Give a release cue like "Okay!" or "Let's go!" before walking through together. Keep training sessions short and practice often. Your puppy will quickly learn that waiting—not rushing—is what opens doors. Remember: ✨ Don't punish mistakes. ✨ Be patient and consistent. ✨ Safety is always the goal, not perfection. A puppy that waits at the door today can become a dog you can trust around open doors for years to come. 💬 Does your puppy try to race out the door, or have they mastered the wait already? #PuppyTraining #DoorManners #DogTrainingTips #PositiveReinforcement #newpuppy
