Try adding one new enrichment activity this week and see what your dog tells you through their behavior.

#DogTrainerWA #pnwDogs #pnwPuppy #ReadyPupGo #SeattleDogs #SeattlePuppies #SnohomishCounty #SnohomishDogs #SnohomishPuppies #SnohomishWA #SnohomishWashington #PuppyTrainerWA #FearFreeTraining
Title: “Your Next Move.” Text reads: Observe your dog’s choices — what do they seek, avoid, or repeat? Identify one unmet need (movement, rest, social time, chewing, exploring). Add or adjust enrichment to meet that need. Notice behavior changes — calmer? more focused? more playful? Remember: meeting needs builds trust and motivation. A teal heart outline with a paw print decorates the lower right corner beside the Ready, Pup, Go! logo.

Setting up a calm-down zone?
Choose a quiet space near the household action, add a comfy bed and a chew, and use it proactively.
Most puppies nap within minutes. 😴

Dogs live in the moment, so your timing matters!
