Building structure for your puppy in one of the best things you can do to help raise a happy, healthy, and obedient puppy.  In this episode of Puppy Talk I discuss the why and how of puppy structure. 

Why?

  1. Structure creates calmness in the puppy.
  2. Structure creates an opportunity for the puppy to succeed, not fail
  3. Structure helps you, the puppy owner, have more control over the puppy’s behavior, obedience, and discipline.

How?

  1. Stick to a routine: wake up, potty, short walk, training, eat, play, potty again, and nap.
  2. Your puppy is in school and needs a balance of math, English, history, and science. Recess can come after the other subjects.
  3. DO NOT replace the essential subjects with play and affection. This is having your puppy in recess all day long.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
