In this episode of the Puppy Training Podcast, we go beyond basic behaviors like sit and stay to focus on the life skills that truly shape a well-behaved, confident dog.Many puppy parents work hard on cues, but struggle with everyday challenges like stressful car rides, difficult vet visits, grooming battles, noisy vacuums, or overly excited greetings with guests. Amy walks you through the essential “good citizen puppy” skills every dog needs, including calm car riding, positive crate training, grooming and handling tolerance, confidence around household noises, and polite behavior when visitors arrive. You'll learn why these skills matter so much and how to start teaching them early in a positive, stress-free way.This episode is perfect for new puppy parents or anyone looking to prevent fear, anxiety, and behavior issues before they begin — and to raise a dog who's comfortable navigating real life.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   When a new puppy arrives, the change in routine can create big feelings for an adult dog who has been part of every training session. Behaviors that look surprising are often signs of stress rather than spite or defiance. When we stay curious, it becomes easier to notice what our dogs may be trying to communicate. I'm sharing simple ways to support your adult dog so they can feel calm and confident while you focus on training your new puppy.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • Why dogs are not capable of spite the way we imagine. • Two questions to ask ourselves that shift how we understand behavior. • My student's story about an adult dog's unexpected behavior. • The cognitive bias behind assuming dogs are 'spiteful.' • Why curiosity strengthens connection and removes blame. • How stress changes physiology, with 2 personal real life examples. • The importance of ruling out medical conditions before assuming behavior issues. • Other stressors that can affect behavior. • How to support your adult dog during the puppy transition using the 3 E's (Exercise, Engagement, Enrichment). • A step-by-step plan to create calm and confidence for your older dog while your puppy is being trained. • How to use Hot Zones, Crate Games, and relaxation strategies to prevent stress in your adult dog. • The power of choosing curiosity to understand what your dog is communicating.   Get Crate Games Online: Crate Games Online - https://get.crategames.com/   Resources:   1.

Fear doesn't mean stop; it usually means go. Meg sits down with trainer and coach Oscar Mora to trace the real path from a steady aerospace paycheck to a ranch built for teaching, trialing, and building a club where honest feedback and consistent reps change both dogs and handlers. We talk about the moment his wife said “it's time,” the practical signs he watched before quitting, and how discomfort became a compass for growth rather than a reason to freeze.From there we dive into the craft. Oscar breaks down why pet skills and sport skills speak the same language—clean markers, fair criteria, and rewards that match the dog in front of you. He lays out how to get into sport without weekly decoy access by focusing on obedience, neutrality, and structured play. We explore off-breeds in sport, what a Corso can teach a handler about patience and pressure, and how finishing something with the dog you have often builds more skill than endlessly chasing a “perfect” prospect.Puppy selection gets specific: confidence over defensiveness, love of chase, possession, and full grips. For dogs with too much gas, he explains how to install breaks early so the dog can think under conflict—like clearing a jump with a toy screaming from behind. We get candid about social media pressure, why trainers should serve clients instead of peers, and how a culture of private, constructive critique grows people faster than public takedowns. Most importantly, we show how play isn't just fun; it's a system for building engagement, solving reactivity, and turning stress into skills that hold up in real life.Stick around for details on Oscar's upcoming course, a free newsletter that translates training videos into step-by-step takeaways, and a two-day play workshop on February 21–22 in Upland designed for pet owners and aspiring sport handlers alike. If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—then tell us the one skill you're training this week.To sign up for Oscar's upcoming workshops, check out his website here.Visit us on the website here to see what we've got going on and how you can join our pack of good dogs and owners.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   A lick mat can feel like magic when it brings instant peace to a whiny or restless puppy, but sometimes that calm comes after a buildup we don't even notice. I'm taking a closer look at what drives that rising anticipation and how small, thoughtful changes can shift the pattern toward calm, confidence, and comfort. With a bit of intention, lick mats can become tools that support your puppy's emotional well-being rather than fuel anxious routines or unwanted behaviors.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • Why puppies start whining, circling, pawing, bouncing, or barking before you deliver a lick mat. • The "thing before the thing" and how anticipation becomes reinforcement. • What to do first when your puppy is anxious, whiny, or restless. • The different stages of using a lick mat to support wanted behavior. • How to prepare lick mats without triggering excitement. • How to create a new trigger so calm behavior predicts the lick mat. • Ways to use lick mats for fear, visitors at the door, and environmental distractions. • Why lick mats should not be a lifelong crutch and how to use them with intention.   Resources:   1.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   Many dogs start spinning, barking, or rushing when the leash comes out or you head toward the door, but what if the hidden source of that on leash chaos actually begins earlier than you think? In this episode, I'm sharing how to uncover what is reinforcing your dog's unwanted behaviors and how to build calm, connected exits using simple conditioning strategies and games so every walk begins with confidence and connection rather than chaos and pulling.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • Why some dogs react long before the walk even starts. • What "follow the money" means and how it reveals the real reason your dog is getting overexcited. • A real-life example of reinforcement patterns we often miss. • How picking up the leash becomes a conditioned emotional trigger for many dogs. • Ways to create a positive C.E.R. around touching the leash. • Why the connected Collar Grab is valuable for creating calm focus. • How adding the cue "connect" helps dogs check-in reliably. • What connected exits look like at low distraction levels. • How toys, bowls, and movement create opportunities to strengthen connection. • Why creating small daily "moments of connection" builds great habits. • How a simple Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) can set every walk up for success.   Resources:   1.
