You’re Not Alone

If Your Puppy Feels “Out of Control” Lately… You’re Not Alone

A few months ago, things felt manageable.

Now it might feel like:

  • Constant Biting and Mouthing That Won’t Stop
  • Jumping on Kids, Guests, or You The Second There’s Excitement
  • Pulling Hard or Fighting Every Walk
  • Ignoring Their Name Like it Doesn’t Matter
  • Chewing or Grabbing Anything Within Reach
  • Pestering Your Older Dog or Cat Nonstop
  • A Puppy That Just Doesn’t Settle Anymore
  • Running Out The Door Any Chance They Get

And you are probably thinking: Why is this getting worse? Because this is the stage where habits start sticking. Not because your puppy is “bad.” But because no one is showing them what not to keep repeating.

Misha and I LOVE Yasmin!! She really changed our relationship. Misha is a rescue that was always a little nervous and territorial with me and our home but whose behavior worsened significantly when my older dog passed away a few months ago…

Yasmin went above and beyond to train our dog after I injured my knee and had to have knee reconstruction surgery. She worked specifically to meet our needs and ensure our Rosie could walk safely on a leash, have appropriate manners, and that she was happy and successful…

I hired Yasmin to help with my puppy and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the first session she was professional, calm, and really good at reading both the dog and the owner. She explained everything in a way that actually made sense and gave me simple, consistent steps to follow at home…

I cannot recommend this Yasmin as a dog trainer enough! When I reached out to her, I was honestly at the point where I thought I might have to give up on Yowac because I was struggling so much with getting her to get along with Willy. I felt like I had tried everything and wasn't sure there was going to be a solution…

Had a wonderful experience working with Yasmin. She was great at communicating, arriving on time at my home, and focusing on my fut baby. Sh we was doing more than just training the basics but incorporating training to fit my lifestyle and the commands I would need…

I adopted a rescue from the humane society and quickly realized he was unlike any dog I’d owned before. Despite having plenty of experience with dogs, this little guy was exceptionally stubborn and mischievous, and I knew I needed professional guidance…

I took my 1 1/2 year old black Lab Charlie to Yasmin for her 3 week board and train program. Before I took him for training Charlie was a wild child. He is very friendly but can be very unruly as well…

★★★★★

When I adopted my puppy from the shelter, she was extremely reactive toward both people and other animals. I reached a point where I genuinely felt hopeless and feared her aggression would eventually lead to an unfortunate outcome. Hiring Yasmin was one of the best decisions I could have made…

My 2 year old foster pup needed to learn some household manners, to come when called, and to walk nicely even when temptation came calling in the form of deer or other walked dogs. Yasmin came each week and we worked on all these things successfully…

Victoria B.Google review

★★★★★

Amazing!! I feel way more confident with my dog and he is doing better as well. Yasmin’s style of training is totally worth it; and I am excited to keep going to classes to strength the relationship with my dog.

I can't recommend Yasmin at Team Dog with Yasmin enough! My pup Bella just completed the 3-week board and train program, and the change is incredible. Before training, Bella would pull like crazy and bolt, leaving me chasing her…

Our family would 1000 % recommend Yasmin for your wild pup training needs. We sent our 10month old Malinois to the 2 week board and train and our girl learned so much. Our home is much more calm now that she follows instructions. We had a lot of issues with our dog and our 6 year old…

We highly recommend working with Yasmin! Rosie our 2 yr old rottweiler, completed 6 weeks of in home training and is much more well-mannered than before. We've gotten so many compliments on her behavior…

CarmenGoogle review

★★★★★

Before we met Yasmin, our golden retriever, Buddy, was stressing us out. He didn't know how to listen and we didn't know how to teach him to listen! We decided to leave Buddy with Yasmin for 2 weeks with the hope that he would learn at least the bare minimum! That's how much we were at our wits ends…

Tara O.Google review

★★★★★

We had an amazing experience with Yasmin from Team Dog with Yasmin, LLC! She trained our Lhasa Apso, Milo, who was extremely stubborn before his training. He used to bite our walls, potty in the house, bark constantly when we were trying to sleep, and even nibble on people…

Andrea H.Google review

★★★★★

We're so glad we found Team Dog with Yasmin! Our Piper “Chaos” came to us as a rescue after being born stray and raised in a shelter setting. Unfortunately, her early life left her as an anxious, under socialized dog who was terrified of the outside world…

I remember my partner and I feeling completely hopeless when it came to our dog Finnick. His behavior was completely unacceptable, he didn't listen, he didn't have any boundaries and always pushed whatever boundaries we set into place…

I have a Pitbull mix that I rescued in May of 2022. He was about a year and a half when I got him and had no formal training. He was never aggressive but had some reactivity, especially when other dogs would pass by on walks. I had done some basic training before but was looking to further training for myself and my dog…

Victoria C.Google review

If you are in need of a dog trainer, look no further. My wife and I were in desperate need of help. Our 4 year old is perfect but horrible with recall and our 2 year old boy was not very good in public with people or other dogs. Our boy would get too excited where he would bark, jump, and lunge in public…

Hiral D.Google review

★★★★★

Yasmin was absolutely incredible! She took our 1.5 year old Bailey (half Belgium Malinois half German Shepherd) who was very reactive, jumping on everyone, no leash manners, thinks the world revolves around her and turned her into a well mannered dog…

Jessica T.Google review

★★★★★

We started working with Yasmin when our puppy was around 12 weeks old. We have a high energy, German Shepherd, Malinois mix and we really needed someone to help us set the foundation for our training. We wanted lessons not just for our dog, but for us as owners as well…

I sought out Yasmin in search of a dog trainer to help my Mom with her very hyper 8-month old puppy. Mom had tried a couple of training programs and was still facing significant challenges…

Yasmin Bowersox is incredible. Extremely competent and knowledgeable. She understands every dog is different and finds the right formula for success. I have two Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppies (littermates), and everyone told me I was crazy. Yasmin took them for a three week board and train starting at 5 months old…

Puppy Training

This Is The Stage Most Owners Miss

Yasmin sitting on the steps with a young Malinois puppy

Some owners wait too long, hoping their puppy will “grow out of it.”

Others are overwhelmed and just trying to put out fires every day.

And some are realizing they missed the early window, the socialization and structure phase, and now everything feels harder than it should.

Wherever you are, the problem is the same:

You’re trying to figure it out in real time… while the behavior is already happening.

And that’s what makes it exhausting.

You don’t need more random advice. You need clear direction for this exact stage.

You Don’t Need A Robotic Puppy. You Need Control Back In Your Home.

At this age, training isn’t about perfection.

It’s about stopping chaos from becoming normal.

We focus on helping you build:

  • Calmer Behavior Around People and Pets
  • Leash Manners That Don’t Feel Like a Fight
  • Reliable Response When You Call Your Puppy
  • Better Control Around Doors, Food, and Distractions
  • Less Jumping, Biting, and Impulsive Behavior
  • A Puppy That Can Actually Settle in the Home

Because right now, the difference between “manageable” and “out of control” is structure.

Your Puppy Is Repeating Whatever Works Right Now

Between 4–8 months, puppies are learning fast.

They’re testing boundaries.

They’re rehearsing behavior.

They’re figuring out what gets attention and what doesn’t.

So every jump, bite, dash out the door, or ignored command is becoming a habit if it keeps happening.

That’s why it feels like things “changed suddenly.” It didn’t. It just caught up.

Imagine

Imagine Your Puppy Actually Feeling Manageable

Walks without Frustration

  • No more pulling towards other dogs and people
  • No more biting the leash
  • No more eating anything off the ground
  • Just peaceful walks

A calm home

  • No more screaming and barking in the crate
  • No more stealing things and not giving them back
  • No more ignoring being called
  • Just a joyful addition to your home

Productive Socialization

  • No more guessing game about how to socialize your puppy.
  • Doing public outings the right way.
  • Set your puppy up for success for future outings

Most owners don’t want a “perfect dog.” They want peace in their home again. And that starts with structure and clear guidance at this stage, not later.

Tailored Training

Training Built Around Your Puppy And Your Real Life

This isn’t a generic puppy checklist.

It’s based on what you’re actually dealing with.

Training is tailored to:

Whether you’re overwhelmed already or trying to prevent future issues, the goal is the same: Get structure in place before the habits lock in.
