About The Author

Hello! Welcome to The Puppy Training Diaries...

Here, it is my plan to document everything there is to know about raising a puppy from 8-week old cutie to well-behaved, mature, adult. I will record successes, failures, frustrations, and milestones. It is also my plan to share with you puppy training tips, behavior modification techniques and the tools and gadgets that have helped make my life easier and put my dogs on the right track. Stay tuned for potty training, leash training, clicker training, and so much more!

So who am I?

My name is Jennifer, I am the author behind The Puppy Diaries. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Zoology and Animal Behavior, I own my own pet business which offers in-home pet sitting, dog walking and dog training. I am also the proud owner of a 3 year old 100lb labrador named Zeke and an 8-week old German Shepherd puppy named Zeus. I have many years experience training dogs in everything from basic obedience to correcting problem behaviors to agility and other sports. I love sharing my knowledge and experience and enjoy learning from others. 

Why The Puppy Training Diaries?

My hope for The Puppy Training Diaries is that it becomes an inspiration, a reference book, and a medium for people from all walks of life to engage in. My hope is to inspire people to raise their puppies and dogs correctly. Any dog is capable of learning and if every dog were understood and taught manners the world would be a much better place for both owners, by standers and the dogs themselves. 

What's coming up?

Almost everything! We will begin The Puppy Training Diaries with my 8-week old puppy and the journey will take us everywhere. I will discuss how to introduce your new puppy to your current dog, your home, and other pets, we will talk about setting up rules and boundaries, discuss which leashes and collars are best for your growing dog and so much more!
