Thank you for this article. I listened to the welcome video. I journaled for a couple weeks till I could read his communication & patterns. I took 101 course when he first arrived and found it helpful.
Okay, thank you! We’ll watch his BEAM closely and reassess if anything changes. How would a vet treat this situation? If we do take him in, I’d like to make informed decisions about his care.
Thank you for the quick response! He’s an excellent eater and dinner is at 5:30pm.

A “relax” command, this makes sense, thank you! Are there any HA! links or posts on...
Hi Dr. Jeff,
I’m new to this forum. Are there previous links to posts on housebreaking a new pup? We found a 4-6mth dog. He’s learning to go outside but it would be very helpful to read a post on housebreaking, since I’m new to raising a puppy. Thank you!
