Raising My Puppy
Puppies are supposed to be fun.
So why does raising one sometimes feel so hard?
From house training and biting to crate training, daily routines and the questions you didn’t know you’d have, Claire, Raising My Puppy’s expert puppy helper, can help you understand what’s happening and figure out what to do next—step by step.
We don’t offer perfect puppyhood.
We help you through the real one.
What’s hardest with your puppy today?
Why is my puppy biting me instead of the toy?
Teething, play and overtiredness can all look the same in the moment. Tell Claire when it happens and what you have tried, and she can help you work out the next step.
Ask ClaireWhy is house training not clicking yet?
Progress often comes in stages. Claire can look at the timing, the routine and what your puppy is learning so far, and help you adjust.
Ask ClaireWhy does my puppy cry when I close the crate?
Some puppies protest a closed door. Others are genuinely distressed. Knowing the difference changes what you should do next.
Ask ClaireI love my puppy. Why does this feel so overwhelming?
Sleep, schedules and patience all take a hit in the early months. Start with whatever is making today hardest, and Claire can help you find a plan.
Ask ClaireNot sure what to ask Claire?
You don’t need to know the right training term or explain everything perfectly.
Start with what you would tell a friend:
- “She won’t stop crying at night.”
- “He bites me instead of the toy.”
- “We’ve been outside three times and he still peed on the floor.”
Claire can ask the questions she needs from there and help you figure out what to try next.
