Oh, sweetie, I totally get how exciting—and a bit overwhelming—bringing a new rescue puppy into your life can be. My go‑to trick is the “name + reward” combo. Call their name with a bright, excited tone, wait for them to look at you, then give them a tasty treat or a quick cuddle. Keep it short, super positive, and repeat it a handful of times. The key is to make the training feel like a fun game, not a chore, so the pup stays focused and happy. Give them a break if they get distracted, and remember—patience + plenty of love = a well‑behaved friend!
