Training Tip Thursday

Let's call it exposure...
Dog Owners are concerned about ensuring their dog is well socialized but what is actual socialization?

Socialization is neutrality!

This means not getting so excited they cannot follow simple directions, or so scared they are trying to hide or reactive.

Take your dog places and have them just relax beside you and take in the environment. Exposure helps develop neutrality.

This is an excellent read! I didn't write it, but the content is entirely accurate. Author- Uknown
Please read ❤️❤️

Realistic Expectations
You go to the breeder's home. The pups are all social, but they are quiet in the pen. The breeder shows videos of them being relaxed around another dog. Everything looks fantastic, 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 refuses to greet the half dozen overly excited friends you invited to see your new puppy. The puppy refuses to walk on a leash. Many are wondering how my perfect puppy turned into a nightmare.
So, let’s discuss realistic expectations of when a puppy goes home. First, the puppy has been in the breeder's home since birth. It has had its mother and often littermates. It has had its routine, been taught expectations, and is entirely in its comfort zone.
Now, suddenly, they are taken to a 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. Different trees, animals, smells, temperature, and people. Now, in the middle of this, we are switching up your routine, deciding to have a party with people you do not know, and asking you to do jobs you have no idea about. It's 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.

"Hi Monica,

I can't begin to tell you how happy we are with our new puppy. Barry is a wonderful little guy, full of charm and character. All is going well. So happy that it turned out he sleeps all night. I've only had to get up twice to let him out in the very early morning hours. He is already signalling when he wants to go outside when he's free in the kitchen area. Of course, I still have to keep a sharp eye on him, because if you miss his cue, he's going to do his business inside. I am so glad we got a puppy in the summer months. Way more exposure in the backyard while the neighbors are out making lots of noise, lots of chances for playing in the sprinkler and the kiddie pools. This dog loves the water! Definitely need to find a place to take him swimming once his shots are done."...
