As the weather warms up and days get longer, spring is the perfect time to refresh your dog’s training and strengthen their skills. Whether you have a playful puppy or an experienced pooch, reinforcing good habits will make walks, adventures, and social outings even more enjoyable. 🌞

Here are some training tips to help your dog thrive this season!

1. Refresh Leash Walking Skills 🚢‍β™‚οΈπŸ•

With more outdoor time and busier parks, practicing good leash manners is key. If your dog tends to pull, use positive reinforcement to reward calm walking. Try changing direction when they start pulling or using treats to encourage focus. Consistency is key to enjoyable spring strolls!

2. Recall: Building a Reliable ‘Come’ Command πŸƒ‍β™‚οΈπŸΆ

As outdoor spaces get busier, it’s essential to have a solid recall. Practice in distraction-free areas first, then gradually introduce more challenges like parks or dog-friendly fields. High-value treats and enthusiasm when calling your dog will make coming back to you a rewarding experience.

3. Social Skills & Playtime Etiquette πŸ•πŸ€πŸ•

Warmer weather means more doggy interactions! Observe your dog’s body language and reinforce polite play behaviors. Reward calm greetings and intervene if play gets too rough. If your dog is nervous around new dogs, introduce them slowly to build confidence.

4. Springtime Distractions: Training Around New Sights & Smells 🌸🐾

Spring is full of new scents, wildlife, and distractions that can make even the best-trained dogs lose focus. Practice obedience commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “leave it” in different outdoor settings to reinforce listening skills no matter the excitement level!


5. Training Through Adventure – Make Learning Fun! πŸŒΏπŸ•οΈ

Use spring outings as training opportunities! Whether it’s reinforcing commands on a trail walk, practicing patience at an outdoor café, or working on impulse control around squirrels, integrating training into everyday adventures makes it both fun and effective.


🌼 Spring is the season of renewal, and that includes training!


With consistent practice, patience, and positivity, your dog can enjoy the season with great manners and confidence.
