Puppy Socialization In The Time Of Quarantine




How To Train Your Dog With Love And Science - Dog Training with Annie Grossman, School For The Dogs show

Summary: <p>Nothing makes people want puppies quite like a global pandemic! Those who are raising puppies during quarantine may face some challenges when it comes to socialization. But, if you succeed at doing a good job with it -- if you can clear the unusual hurdles that new dog owners have to face right now -- you will be paving the way for a great future for your dog and while developing your own training abilities.</p> <p>Annie discusses what socialization is, how to spot signs of possible stress, and how to start at "criteria: zero" in order to build new and appropriate behaviors (and keep bad ones from happening). She talks about using food in socialization, using the right toys, and making use of sounds and objects you might be able to find in your home and enlisting neighbors in a safe way. She also talks about how to help your young dog get adequate puppy playtime, even if that means you... have to pretend to be a puppy.</p> <p><a href="http://schoolforthedogs.com/triad">FREE EBOOK on The Dog Training Triad</a>: http://schoolforthedogs.com/triad</p> <p><a href="%20http://schoolforthedogs.com/courses">Get access to our private Facebook Group with the purchase of any of our new self-paced online courses</a>.

So lots of people have gotten puppies in the last few months during quarantine, which I’m super excited about.  But the truth is, while the crazy world pandemic we’re living through might mean that you have more time to spend at home with your puppy, which by and large is a very good thing, it also means that there are some very real challenges that you may be facing that really might make things harder than they would be for a puppy owner getting a puppy in more normal times.  You might not have the support system around you that you used to have. You might not have access to safe places that you can go with your puppy outside of your home. You’re probably dealing with financial stress. You might be having to move unexpectedly. You might get sick.  But you know, all of this is to say that if you can get through having a puppy during quarantine, you know, it’s kind of like I tell my clients, if your puppy can make it here, he can make it anywhere. In New York City.</p> <p>Same thing with this. If you can get you and your new puppy through this difficult period in the right ways, you’re really going to be setting yourself up for a life together that is going to be enjoyable...</p> <p>Full Transcript available at <a href="https://www.schoolforthedogs.com/podcasts/episode-67-puppy-socialization-in-the-time-of-quarantine/">SchoolfortheDogs.com/Podcasts</a></p>
