What if you understood why your puppy keeps doing the things they do?
Why they repeat certain behaviors. Why some habits get stronger. Why corrections can sometimes make things worse. And how to teach better choices without turning every mistake into a battle.
Understand the behavior first. Training gets a whole lot easier after that. 🩵
Why this matters
Puppies are learning from everything that happens around them.
What gets rewarded gets stronger.
What predicts something exciting—or scary—starts creating an emotional response.
And what you meant to teach isn’t always what your puppy actually learned.
This guide helps you understand what’s happening underneath the behavior so you can respond more clearly, calmly and effectively.
Inside the Guide
✔ How classical conditioning shapes emotional responses
✔ How operant conditioning shapes behavior
✔ Understand positive + negative reinforcement without the confusing jargon
✔ Understand punishment quadrants and what those terms actually mean
✔ Why your puppy may repeat a behavior you thought you were discouraging
✔ Reflect before you correct
✔ Learn how to identify whether the problem is training, timing, communication or development
✔ Reward better choices instead of only reacting to mistakes
✔ Use management + training together
✔ Build a calmer, more intentional training mindset
The later pages specifically teach owners to pause and ask what caused the behavior before jumping to correction, and to focus on reinforcing what is going right rather than waiting for something to go wrong.
8 pages of practical learning-theory guidance from Stacy Greer, Certified Professional Dog Trainer with 27+ years of experience.

I love your real life training approach and the fantastic emails . I look forward to reading your new puppy escapes each day. I just got my new Aussie puppy a few days ago and your training guides have been a great start to this journey. He is still in the perfect cutest puppy stage and will be using your advice for us thru all his adventures and stage Thx
Aww, thank you so much for this! 🥹💛 I’m so glad the guides and emails are helping as you start life with your new Aussie puppy. I love that you’re already thinking ahead and using the information now, before the harder stages hit. That really does make such a difference. Thank you for letting me be a little part of your puppy journey, and please give that sweet Aussie baby a snuggle from me. 🫶🏼💜
Definitely helping me to teach her a lot of new commands SPECIALLY NECESSARY to go out with her 🥹
Thank you so much! ☺️💛 I love hearing that it’s helping you understand how to actually teach her, especially those important skills you’ll rely on when you’re out in the real world together. 🐶🫶🏼 Once you understand how puppies learn, training starts to feel so much less like guessing and so much more like, “Ahhh, now I know how to show her what I want!” 💜
This has been one of those reads thats so obvious yet overlooked. Super helpful!
This guide is currently saving my life. I was in the trenches of puppy blues. I felt horrible every day, like I was doing everything wrong and teaching my puppy bad habits. I got this guide after seeing Stacy’s videos on TikTok, and I cannot say how much this has helped me. I’m still blue, each day is still hard, but trust me when I say that every single day gets just a little bit better. It’s all because I’m following this guide like it’s law. I have no doubt that in 6 months, I’ll have an amazing puppy who is well behaved and awesome to be around!
Sophie... thank you so much for sharing this. ☺️ I am absolutely thrilled to hear that my free Understanding How Pups Learn guide has helped you through the puppy blues. One of my biggest goals was to help puppy owners understand why puppies do what they do so they can stop feeling like they're failing. Hearing that you're feeling a little more hopeful each day and that you're following the guide so closely truly means the world to me. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review, and I can't wait to hear how you and your sweet pup continue to grow together!
Love
