Cuteness overload

Cuteness is a blessing and a curse especially the small pups.  They are sooooo cute and cuddly who would want to give them a boundary or say no to them.  Yet, this is exactly what they need.  When I say it's the "micro mini moments that matter the most" it encompasses everything.  For example how much affection do you give them?  How much holding do you do?  How often do they eat? How much do they bark?  This is aside from leash handling and working on clear conversations that matter.    It all adds up and sometimes these cute lil' pups can become a hot mess and they really don't want the job.  So just sending the message if they are nudging you too much or barking at the window or nipping etc. that no way is that acceptable you.  You don't have to be over the top in your boundary they just have to get the memo a lil' snap of your fingers can be enough.  Helping your pup large or small out of a toxic state of mind is the BEST thing you could do for them. xo
