Moving houses is stressful.

Moving houses is even more stressful when your new house is in a different city or town.

Your dog will be going through it all right there next to you , so it’s important you still meet their needs as best as you can.

Here are my top tips for moving homes with your dog - there will be a few posts on this topic so keep an eye out 🏡

“I felt like I hit the jackpot when I managed to book the Puppy Essentials package with Livia just before she left Auckland. Livia visited our home before our little Wilson arrived and made sure everything was ready for him in his new home. We were so anxious, given this was our first puppy, from day dot Livia's advice and support was invaluable. Weeks later we are still referencing the information Livia provided and the training methods she taught us. As a result our little Wilson has settled in beautifully and is such a settled puppy.” - Shamini

Little Wilson has an extremely dedicated family who are all invested into helping to raise a well rounded adult dog. I always feel like it’s a huge privilege to be chosen to help with a pups first few weeks , sometimes months of their life in their new world.

Welcoming a puppy into your household can be a very exciting time , however it can also be stressful , especially if it’s your first ever puppy.

The Puppy Essentials package is put together to guide you through the first few weeks of your little ball of fluff arriving into their brand new life.

It includes a Howling Wolves Puppy Essentials Ebook which each week has a weekly task page added to it , as well as other crucial information.

The weekly tasks are simple , easy to follow with step by step instructions, so that you can practice them even while sitting on the couch , having breakfast or making dinner.

There are no half an hour long training sessions , they are broken up in to bite size “digestible” pieces.

The key is consistency.

And support during those first few weeks and months can be a huge helping hand , I am a txt message or email away.

The Puppy Essentials package is available in person or online - if you are interested in finding out more or would like more information then feel free to get in touch via [email protected] or by private messaging me on here 🐶

Play can be a hard one to read sometimes , here is a video I had put together last year with some of the key things to look out for when two doggos are playing.

Ralph and Thor are a fantastic match in terms of play style , and their communication during play is fairly easy to read when you watch the video.

How does your dog like to play? Are they into rough and tumble? Do they love to chase? Do they love to be chased? Do they love to play bitey face while lying down on the ground?

Pay attention the next time your dog is playing with a friend 😊

Ralph (my Swissie) and Thor ( one of our Pupsense students) had a play date today. I recorded their play so that I could watch it back and learn from it. However , watching it back , I noticed how clear their body language cues were that I thought I would share some of the ones I picked up on. These are some of the signs of what we would call “good” play. I am still and always will be learning about dog to dog interactions , it’s fascinating to watch dogs interacting with each other. Enjoy ☺️ Livia
