🦷

This is a puppy tooth from the mouth of a 19 week old puppy which fell out during puppy class

Why am I showing it to you?

Because this particular puppy has struggled in class when she didn't normally

She was restless, distracted and vocal. She didn't want to engage with training, she was obsessively trying to get to the other puppies and less motivated by food. She was frustrated. When touched she was MUCH more bitey

When owners are faced with this behaviour they are often concerned; in these moments they are unable to train their puppy. They feel like their training isn't working

But actually this is just a symptom of pain and I frequently see it happening in puppy class. Puppies usually begin with me at around 12-14 weeks of age. I get to know them well and I can tell when they are teething

Because their behaviour in classes *always* changes, often very drastically at around 18-20 weeks

Why? Because they are struggling with the pain

Juvenile humans usually receive pain relief during teething. It's not standard for puppies

My advice? Scale everything back, it doesn't matter if you can't get your puppy to do ask asked, it doesn't matter if they are not interested in what you're trying to teach them

Get a bit of space, give them a natural chew or stuffed Kong (or whatever soothes them), allow them safe destruction games, lower your expectations and expect more biting. Offer softer treats, higher value may be needed, scattering treats and encouraging sniffing can help calm them down. They may not deal so well with touch and their off-switch may be disabled, with their interactions with people or other dogs becoming too intense. Let them deal with what they are going through and don't put them into situations they cannot cope with at this time

Because getting firm with them really isn't going to help and will actually teach them that you're not to be trusted when they are struggling ☹️

The government have announced that on the 10th June 2024 it will become against the law for your cat(s) to not be microchipped, and you could face a fine up to £500 if this isn’t done or if your details are not kept up to date on the microchip. Kittens must be microchipped by 5 Months old once this legislation is passed🐈

Microchipping your cat(s) gives us the best chance of reuniting you and your furry friend if they were to go missing!
