💬🐶 LET’S TALK SOCIALISATION! 🐶💬

If you’ve recently welcomed a puppy into your life, you’re probably keen to start introducing them to other people and other dogs as soon as possible, during that all-important ‘socialisation window’. ⏲️🪟🐕

But what should socialisation actually look like?

🤔 Does your puppy really need to meet dogs of all different ages, breeds, and temperaments in order to learn the right etiquette?
🤔 Do you actually need to work through a checklist of different people, animals, events, and environments for your puppy to experience in the first few weeks?
😬 Or could that actually overwhelm them and knock their confidence and optimism?

The traditional view of ‘socialisation’ would have you believe that you have a critical window in which to expose your puppy to as many experiences as possible, to prepare them for everything they are going to encounter in life. The truth is, this approach relies on exposure and it can really go quite wrong for a lot of dogs, no matter their age. It is what we would call training IN the situation, before your pup has the skills and knowledge FOR that situation.

At absoluteDOGS, we know socialisation is actually an opportunity to cleverly show your puppy that the world is a safe place that they can navigate with you by their side. It’s not about a checklist of things to expose your puppy to… It’s really an opportunity to provide your puppy with a foundation of optimism, confidence, and value in YOU (not the environment and everything it has on offer)! 🐾😍

Socialisation is a life-long event in many ways. We should be regularly training for novelty and non-events, preparing our dogs for real-life scenarios, and doing that over a more extended time period – all while growing optimism, confidence and disengagement skills. We’ve got to be our dog’s guardians, their protectors, and learn when to say “no” to socialisation to guard their carefully grown optimism! ✨✅💪🐶

Keen to learn HOW to get socialisation right from the start and grow confidence and optimism for your puppy (or rehome, rescue, foster or existing family dog)? ✨💖

🐶 Let's talk p**p! 💩

I know it's not the most glamorous subject, but it's something that many dog owners struggle with - coprophagia, or the consumption of faeces. 🤢

While it might be gross to us humans, it's actually quite common in dogs and puppies, and can be caused by a variety of factors such as diet, habit, or even taste preference.

❓❓So what can you do to stop your dog from indulging in this unsavoury behaviour?

❗ The best approach is to be proactive and vigilant in cleaning up after your dog has done their business.

➡️ Additionally, you can teach a positive interrupter sound to distract them before they start munching on p**p.

➡️ If your dog has a habit of seeking out other dogs' p**p, you can teach them games that reward keeping their head off the ground.

🐶 One great game is Magic Hand, which will keep your dog engaged with you and less likely to seek out p**p as a snack. 🐾
