The first minute when I walk into a client’s house
|
Hello Reader, Sometimes when I walk into a client’s house, I’m barely through the door and their puppy or dog is already jumping up to say hello. I am trying to put my bag down. Their puppy or dog is trying to get closer to me. And their person is trying to say hello while asking them to get down. One thing I watch for is what happens next. Do they settle once I sit down? Does the excitement start right back up when I get up to grab my bag? I am putting together a free online workshop to help you make a simple plan for having people over. Maybe you have a puppy who jumps up to say hello, a teenage dog who gets excited every time someone stands up, or a new dog you are still getting to know. We will talk about what you can do before you open the door and how to help your puppy or dog settle once everyone is inside. Would that help at your house? If you would like me to send you the date and details when they are ready, tap the button below and send me the note it opens. I’m Interested in the Free Workshop Talk soon, Kristine |

Hello Reader, Have you ever sat down to answer an email or drink your coffee, and suddenly your puppy or dog needs something? They bring you a toy. Put a paw on your leg. Or walk off with something you would rather they leave alone. You just need a few minutes. Your puppy or dog may not know what to do when you are home but busy with something else. You can start with a few little moments during the day. After they have been outside and had a chance to move around and spend time with you,...
