You just can’t mimic the sounds of a bunch of kids playing by listening to a recording. This is up front and personal.

The pups were very interested in the ponies. There are a few things you need to watch out for with introductions to new things:

🐾Are they cowering?
🐾Are they whimpering?
🐾Are they growling/barking?

If so, the experience is too much for them. You will need to create space between them and the trigger, use positive reinforcement, decrease the intensity of the exposure by starting with something smaller and working your way back up to the item/person/thing that caused the reaction.

I keep saying horses, but I know they are ponies. My friend who came with me is an avid horse woman and I’m sure she was cringing. 😂😂😂

Our trip to the pumpkin patch was a success! There were lots of kids running around and screaming in delight. The pups were enthralled by the children’s train going by.

In order to acclimate them to being in the stroller before going on a trip into town, we like to walk with them down our lane. It makes the trip into town a better experience.

Safety first! They need experiences outside of the house, but we always want to keep them safe from the nasties that are more than likely on the ground. This is where the stroller comes in handy. It lets them experience the world outside of the house until they are completely vaccinated and can walk on the ground.

The puppy call is something we start early and do often. It’s recall training and it works every time.
We are also doing a barrier challenge in this video. Barrier challenges are confidence building exercises. The idea is to create a barrier that is challenging, but not too difficult. These nuggets had been doing this challenge for a while, so they already had it mastered in this video.

This is always a favorite with our little nuggets. However, it’s not meant for older pups as they can chew pieces of it off and swallow it. They didn’t have all of their teeth yet in this video.
