I'm a breeder and my Vet requires first shot at 5-6 weeks, second set at 8-9 weeks. I take my PupPups for BOTH the first AND second set of shots, then wait a minimum of 24 hours before releaaing them to their new owners. I also let them out to socialize with my other VACCINATED dogs (all my dogs are fully vaccinated and wormed regularly and kept in daily cleaned environments) a couple days after their first set of vaccines, but only for about half an hour a day so they can learn the social aspect of having other dogs around. I'm with them the whole time, as is their Mama. It has worked extremely well for my PupPups (8 litters in 6 years out of 4 females). I have nothing but positive feedback about how well socialized my PupPups are, and have had several repeat customer. My PupPups are my BABIES, and I treat them accordingly!! 💕

We are expecting a puppy later this year, and we would be interested to hear your thoughts. We live in NYC in a busy part of downtown. I'm sort of worried about going outside our apartment for potty breaks, because lots of dogs still walk and pee on the sidewalks. Should we just avoid and use the fresh patch inside until they get the 2nd or 3rd round of vaccinations? Also trying to get them used to the sounds, maybe it would be beneficial to bring them in a travel carrier and they bring them to the park bench to sit for abit to absorb the sounds and smells while safe inside the carrier? I think we will definitely do the puppy socialization classes once a week though.

Hi, amazing video! I learned a lot of useful stuff. Can you please answer my doubt regarding my puppy's behavior? I have a 50-day-old male Shih Tzu puppy. He doesn't like drinking water and only eats soaked kibbles. Is that okay for his age? He avoids drinking water even if I add a little amount to his bowl along with soaked kibbles. I think this behavior might have come from his negative experience with bathing. I bathed him without knowing that we should wait at least two full months before bathing them. What can you suggest regarding this?

@HowToTrainADreamDog

11 күн бұрын

Please discuss this with your vet. You can also experiment with different bowls and try things like ice cubes to see if that works better. It seems unlikely to be related to bathing, as those are two separate activities in a dog's mind.

You can find a spot that is not used much by other dogs. Puppies can still touch the ground before vaccinations are complete. You just need to make sure they aren't interacting with unvaccinated dogs or eating feces of unvaccinated dogs. Outings are also very very short for young puppies, and you start by watching from the car or far away from anyone or anything.

Hi Michelle, my dog just recovered from canine distemper and need to wait for another month to get the 2nd vaccine, and by that time she will be 5 month old. I have been bringing her out on a dog troller to see the vet when she is around 3 month and seems she is friendly to ppl and other dogs. But during this month time, I just keep her staying at home as she just took 1 vaccine...Actually I am extremely worry about the situation of delaying the socialization exercise, however she just took 1 vaccine... What should I really do now, is it really ok to bring her out for a walk? Thanks!

As soon as you were like find a new vet I knew I liked you I thought you were going to say oh yes they cannot go outside but you obviously know dogs I was just wondering what is the earliest age I can let them explore in an enclosed area specifically for puppies my dog had a litter of puppies and the area would oviously be cleaned and no other animals would have had contact with the area on the side of the house we live in the middle of no where in California when would be the earliest age I can do that? I was thinking maybe after the first round of shots also some places say you can give them the 1st dhpp vaccine at 6 weeks would that be ok?

Hello, your videos have been very helpful. We are planning to get a boston terrier 8 week old next week. I was thinking would it be a good idea to use a puppy carrier to take my puppy out - so I am exposing him to the outside world but not letting him sniff or touch and be touched by any one ?

@HowToTrainADreamDog

11 ай бұрын

We don't recommend strollers or slings for exposure training. The most important part of exposing your puppy to the world is to make sure it's a positive experience for him. When you restrict his movements or can't see him in the stroller, you aren't able to notice subtle cues in body language that indicate stress or discomfort. This video has more details: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z5yM0LOyqNq8hbw.html

I have a question - we have been doing very short walks (literally half a block from our house and back, no further, on the sidewalk) with our pup who is 11 weeks. We are not letting him interact with any other people or dogs during these times. However I am still paranoid that this is maybe too risky for him? He is actually taking to the leash really well, and is learning to stay attentive to us so I feel like the training aspect is super valuable but I do worry still.

@HowToTrainADreamDog

4 ай бұрын

We like that you're not interacting with others and we like that you're going only a short distance from home. If he seems to be enjoying it and is not resisting or seems stressed, it's fine! For his safety, try to make sure he does not eat or lick anything on the ground. Take high value treats with you to redirect him if he does!

Great information! We live next to a green space. occasionally we have seen skunks, raccoons and foxes in the lower end of our yard, although never near the house. Near the house we have bird feeders which attract a lot of squirrels. Should we be worried about squirrels carrying disease that our unvaccinated pup could get? I have heard of new puppy owners spraying the edge of their property (the cement curb) with a dilute bleach solution to kill bacteria before their pup comes home. Would you recomment this practice?

@bryonycossinswhite4904

2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely not. Bleach is a highly dangerous toxic solution that is hazardous to your dog and the ecosystem. Build a healthy immune system by feeding your puppy a proper diet, such as raw and adding probiotics to the diet. 80% of the immune system is built in the gut so feed them right and avoid obvious potential risks such as stray dogs before they are fully vaxxed

@HowToTrainADreamDog

Unvaccinated dogs are the biggest concern, so stray dogs are more of an issue than other pets. But you can use a grassy patch on your balcony or near your front door, and/or you can find a potty spot that is away from where most of the dogs do their business. There are lots of ways to help your dog get used to the outside world during this critical window, so be sure you're doing positive exposure training too!

It's good if you can socialize a puppy when she is young but even if she's past 16 weeks she can still learn new things and have a positive association with them. Follow the tips in this video and hold positive training sessions with her, exposing her to new things. You might wait to start with outside exposure sessions until you notice she's settled in to your home. When she appears ready you can start with household items like brooms, mops, vacuum cleaners, blenders and more. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z56st7eyqbvdiqQ.htmlsi=uAIflTZn5XgjGIza

I got him sniffing my bicycle till he ignored it...then he got put in the doggie basket and he laid down and ends up he loves going for bike rides with me. We go almost every day now that the weather is warming up.
