Meet Anna, your Puppy Geek expert. Discover how personalised puppy training support can help you avoid mistakes and build the right foundation from day one.

Why does my puppy ignore me outside? Puppies often ignore their owners outside because the environment is more stimulating and rewarding. New smells, sounds, and movement can outweigh training, especially if behaviours haven’t been consistently reinforced in different settings.

Puppies bark at everything because they are responding to new sounds, movement, or stimulation. Barking can be driven by excitement, alertness, or uncertainty, and often increases when the underlying cause isn’t addressed or the behaviour is unintentionally reinforced.

Why won’t my puppy come when called? Puppies often ignore recall because distractions are more rewarding than returning to their owner

Puppies pull because its frustrating being restricted, they want to explore this new amazing world, they don't understand what this new equipment is all about and pulling gets them where they want to go, reinforcing the behaviour over time.

Why does my puppy jump up at people? Puppies jump up at people because they are seeking attention, greeting face-to-face, or feeling excited. This behaviour is often unintentionally reinforced when people respond by talking, touching, or interacting, which teaches the puppy that jumping works.

Why won’t my puppy listen? Puppies often don’t listen because training hasn't been progressively worked on in different environments or they are more motivated by distractions than their owner.
