Graphic with the title “Behavior Always Has a Function.” A small curly tan puppy sits up on its hind legs, looking curious. Text reads: “When your dog ‘misbehaves,’ it’s not random. It’s purposeful. Every behavior serves a function.” Ready, Pup, Go! logo at the bottom.

Title: “Why It Matters.” Three bullet points: “Behavior is information, not defiance.” “Understanding function helps you solve the real problem.” “When the environment changes, behavior changes.”

Title: “What You Need.” Illustration of a person thinking beside a notebook and smartphone. Bullet points: “Curious mindset.” “Notebook or phone to record A–B–C (Antecedent–Behavior–Consequence).” “Patience, discovery takes time.”

Title: “Step-by-Step.” Four numbered points explaining how to identify the function of behavior by observing what happens before and after, asking what the dog is gaining or avoiding, changing the setup or outcome, and reinforcing a better behavior.

Before correcting, ask:
“Is there a kinder, clearer way to teach this?” 🐾

Three dogs—two golden-brown retriever types and one black dog—sit on a sandy beach with the ocean in the background. Text on the photo reads: “Trust is built with rewards. Punishment spends it quickly.” Logo at bottom.

Rewards invest in trust. Punishment drains it. Training should build bonds, not break them.

Here’s her voice today—a reminder to treat every dog with respect, empathy, and curiosity.
