Puppy socialization should ideally begin as early as 3 to 14 weeks of age. During this critical period, puppies are highly receptive to new experiences, people, and other animals. Early socialization helps ensure that they grow into well-adjusted, confident adults. Introducing them to a variety of positive experiences during this time can prevent behavioral issues and anxiety later in life.

A puppy explores the world around them with their mouths. Unfortunately for humans, those sharp teeth hurt! In order to teach our puppy that nipping and mouthing is inappropriate we have to be very consistent in not allowing our hands to become chew toys. We should not encourage rough play, or games like slap boxing. The first step is to make sure your puppy has sufficient mental and physical stimulation. Going for long walks, obedience, trick training, treat dispensing toys, food puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty, and games like fetch or tug should all be used to help tire out your dog.

Myth: Human Food is Safe for Dogs

If you can eat something, surely your dog can too, right? Wrong! Lots of foods are perfectly fine in small quantities, but there are other foods that are dangerous for dogs. Some, like almonds, are a choking hazard, some, like macadamia nuts, are poisonous, and even a small amount of chocolate or grapes/raisins can kill. Before sharing any food, be sure you know which foods are safe and unsafe for your dog.

What you’ll need: Quiet area Lots of soft tasty treats Toys

How to make it happen:

Start by training Drop-It on cue by first teaching your dog with nothing in their mouth.

Say your cue, “Drop It” and toss a few soft treats on the ground in front of your dog. Use soft treats so your dog cannot hear the treats hitting the ground.

Reach down to point out the treats you tossed down. This is an important step as it will get your dog use to you reaching down in front of them to retrieve an item they dropped. Also, make sure to focus on the order in which you say the cue then throw the food on the floor. Only give your cue before you toss treats on the floor, not at the same time.

Practice doing this not only standing in front of your dog but also vary your position. Practice while sitting down, standing with your back to your dog, sitting on the floor, while removing your coat, pushing a stroller, carrying boxes, taking out the trash, and so on. This is also good to practice with your dog already on their bed or in their crate.

As your dog eats the treats on the floor, you should also give lots calm praise and petting to get your pet use to you being around them in this scenario.

You are ready for the next step once you say the cue and your dog responds by looking at the floor before you even toss any treats down.

Next, start by training around an object. The first few objects you use should be things that your dog is not very interested by, or at least something your pet will not try to mouth. Your pet should have little to no interest in the object you are training around. Wait for your dog to look at the object. As soon as they do, say your cue, “Drop-It” and toss treats on the ground away from the object.

The next step is to start to practice with toys. The first couple of toys you use should be ones that are not too exciting for your pet. Continue these steps and gradually increase the difficulty of the toy by using ones that are more enticing to your dog.

There have been a few studies around this and it turns out that just like us, dogs have a preferred hand (well, paw) to lead with. You can find out whether your dog is left or right-pawed by giving them their favorite toy or interactive game seeing which paw they use to help them first.
