Common Challenges
Support for everyday puppy behaviours.
Even with all the thoughtful prep, puppies will still test limits, explore the world with their mouths, struggle with frustration, and need help learning how to live in a human environment.
This page is here for the moments when things feel messy or overwhelming. You’ll find practical, real-life guidance for common puppy behaviours, grounded in an understanding of development, needs, and learning — not quick fixes or rigid rules.
You’ll find:
• Prevention and management strategies that protect both puppy and human sanity
• Simple training steps that fit into everyday life
• Real-life examples so you can see what support looks like in practice
With the right support, these moments become opportunities to build trust, skills, and a stronger relationship ❤️

Puppy Biting & Teething
Puppy biting is normal — but that doesn’t make it easy. This guide breaks down why biting happens, how to spot escalation early, and what to do to reduce it without adding frustration or punishment.
