We’ve all been a little quiet and busy as Leia has been poorly. Cannot thank Gemma at Spring Lodge Veterinary Hospital enough for her support and suggestions to turn it around - I really thought we were going to lose her. Recovery is continuing and we take each day as it comes

Watch out for bee and wasp stings!

Dogs that have been stung can usually be cared for at home, but some exceptions might be a bit more serious. Find out more at thekennelclub.org.uk/stings.

Fabulous trainer. Sign up for a free worksheet to start you off.

Do you have a gundog who struggles and can sometimes bark &/or lunge around people or other dogs? or perhaps they struggle with passing bikes, cars, or joggers? Sometimes dogs can react to random things you wouldn’t expect, like household appliances such as vacuum cleaners and brooms!

Barking and lunging can range from something fairly minor to feeling full-on scary for owners of dogs who are ‘reactive’ in certain situations.

If you have a gundog and the above sounds familiar then why not sign up to my free short intro to reactivity PDF and a chance to also sign up to be one of the first to know about my free more in-depth webinar on reactivity 😀

Inside you'll learn:
🐾 Why gundogs can be reactive
🐾 Strategies and coping mechanisms
🐾 Tips for understanding and supporting your gundog

Can’t beat a set of puppy collars

04/07/2023

As puppies head to their new homes I wanted to touch base on a common issue that breeders come across with new owners.

Realistic Expectations

You go to the breeders home. The pups are all social. They are quiet in the pen. The breeder shows you videos of them being totally relaxed at a dog show. All looks amazing and you bring your puppy home.

Then reality hits. The puppy may cry in the crate for the first few nights making you tired and agitated. The happy social puppy is refusing to greet the half dozen overly excited friends you invited over to see your new puppy. The puppy refuses to walk on a leash. Many are wondering how did my perfect puppy turn into a nightmare.

So let’s discuss realistic expectations of when a puppy goes home. First of all the puppy has been in the breeders home since birth. They had their mother and often littermates. They had their routine, were taught expectations and were completely in their comfort zone.

Now suddenly they are taken to a totally new environment. Picture yourself being dropped into an unknown country, often in a different part of the world. You know only a few words of their language. Differnt trees, animals, smells, temperature and people. Now in the middle of this we are switching up your routine, decide to have a party with people you dont know, and ask you to do jobs you have no idea about. Overwhelming to say the least.

This is what every puppy goes through when going to their new home. Stress manifests in different forms. From not eating, reluctancy to play and greet people. Being apprehensive at the vet’s office or as strangers reach for them. Diarrhea, vomiting and depression can occur.

So what can you as a new owner do to help your little one acclimate?

- most puppies take 3-4 weeks to acclimate to their new home. Repeat after me THREE to FOUR WEEKS! Not a 1-2 days. I can’t stress this enough about how much time is needed for a dog or puppy to feel comfortable in their new home!
- limit guests during the first week. We understand you are excited to show off your new baby but they need time to adjust. Plan on waiting 1-2 weeks before inviting people over
- ask guest to sit on the ground and let the puppy approach them. No squealing and grabbing the puppy
- set up a good routine
- restrict the puppy to a small area of the house. This not only reduces them being overwhelmed but also allows you to watch them
- don’t expect a 9-13 week old puppy to walk on a leash. Instead work at home with a leash where they are comfortable. Let them drag the leash, use treats to encourage them to walk with you
- if your puppy is refusing to walk give them time. My first trips to town with puppies a walk around a small block took 1 1/2 hours. We only move when they initiate the movement as they need time to take in the different environment
- understand your puppy needs time to see you as family. Expecting an immediate bond is unrealistic
- train your puppy. This not only helps you to bond but the puppy to look to you for direction and input
- lastly be patient. Don’t declare “omg there’s something wrong with this dog”. Nothing occurs overnight. Outings should be planned at puppy speed. So while you might imagine a fun walk around the lake in reality your puppy might only be able to handle walking a short distance that day.

Most outings for me take a long time, as I am often just standing still as the puppy cautiously explores the new environment. Patience is key!

Remember if the puppy was wonderful at the breeder’s house but now is struggling, you as the owner, need to help the puppy adjust which takes time, patience and training. Have realistic expectations and give the puppy positive experiences. Each puppy is an individual, don’t compare your current puppy to past pets and judge their behavior based on how another dog handled things. Lastly, try to see thing’s from a puppy’s perspective and adjust situations accordingly.

Today marks the end of an era
We lost Chewie yesterday at 9 and a half years. He was from Poppys first litter and was blind from EO PRA. He was in surgery for removal of a lump and other discoveries were made which meant that it would have become sick again very quickly. The decision was made that it was kinder to let him pass now. He had an amazing and fulfilled life despite his disability and made a huge difference to his owner Jean-Paul’s life. Sleep tight Chewbacca. 🥰😭
