6 Common Puppy Training Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
 
Raising a puppy comes with a learning curve—but some mistakes can lead to long-term behavioral issues. In this video, we break down the 6 most common puppy training mistakes and offer practical tips to help you avoid them.
 
Here’s what we’ll cover:
 
Too much freedom too soon – Why unrestricted access to your home can lead to accidents and chewing, and how to introduce freedom gradually.
Spending every second together – Why building puppy independence early helps prevent future separation anxiety.
Over-socializing – Why your puppy doesn’t need to meet everyone, and how too much interaction can cause overexcitement and leash pulling.
Not enough sleep – Puppies need 15–20 hours of rest per day! Lack of sleep can lead to puppy biting, mouthing, and behavioral meltdowns.
Waiting until fully vaccinated – Missing the critical socialization window can delay habituation. Learn how to socialize safely before full vaccination.
Using a crate without crate training – Why crate use must be introduced with positive associations and short, consistent sessions.
 
These tips will help new puppy parents raise a calmer, more confident, and well-adjusted dog—right from the start.
