etc; places where there are crowds of people & activity. *If basic
vaccinations are current. Otherwise, limit their visits in crowded,
public places where other animals have been. NEVER take your
puppy to Petsmart or public parks or public places until he or she
has had ALL puppy vaccinations. Never place your puppy on the
floor in the vet's office until ALL vaccinations are completed.
Take pup for short but FREQUENT rides in the car. Stop the car &
let your puppy watch the world go by through the window.
Introduce pup to umbrellas, paper bags, boxes, the vacuum cleaner
& so on. Encourage your puppy to explore and investigate his
environment. Praise him when he does.
Introduce your puppy to new and various sounds. Loud, obnoxious
sounds should be introduced from a distance and gradually brought
closer. Pots & pans are a good place to start; Tap them together
lightly to get the puppies attention. He may run at first but when
he comes back to investigate, praise him & show him they will not
hurt him. If he is reluctant, make a little noise with them, set pans
down with a treat inside one and wait for him to approach.
Accustom your puppy to being brushed, bathed, having its nails
clipped, teeth and ears cleaned and all the routines of grooming.
You and your vet will have a much easier time when it comes
time for an exam or similar experience.
Introduce your puppy to stairs, his collar and leash, the doorbell,
and the mailman!
Introduce anything and everything you want your puppy to be
comfortable with when around. If you have a motorcycle, let
him hear the engine. If you have a boat, take him with you
& sit where he can hear the motor and see the water splash.
If you like water sports, introduce him to swimming at an early
age.
