Exposing Puppies To Livestock

This might look like just a cute moment with goats — but it’s actually puppy training in action.

When we expose young dogs to calm, controlled experiences like this, we’re teaching them how to stay steady around animals that move, smell different, or trigger that prey drive.

This kind of early exposure helps build:

✅ Calm observation

✅ Impulse control

✅ And less chasing when it really matters

The goal isn’t to stop instinct — it’s to shape it.
