How to Support Undersocialized Puppies
<p>In this episode of Pandemic Puppy, Kayla discusses undersocialized puppies. </p> <p> </p> <p>How do you know your puppy may be undersocialized?</p> <ul><li style="font-weight:400;">This will vary per dog depending on breed and personality, as some breeders are generally more reserved than others</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Puppy history is important to consider. Hoarding or parvo puppies are usually very undersocialized</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">It’s normal for your puppy to startle around new things or to be a little shy, but it’s not normal for extreme reactions such as urinating or trembling, or if the startle starts to escalate. If this is the case, you should seek a professional behavior consultant. </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>What to do if your puppy is showing signs of being undersocialized?</p> <ul><li style="font-weight:400;">Go at your puppy’s pace; work harder, not faster<ul><li style="font-weight:400;">If your puppy is under extreme distress, you are going too fast</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">If you can’t find a comfortable threshold for your puppy, speak to a professional</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul><li style="font-weight:400;">Learn dog body language</li> </ul> <ul><li style="font-weight:400;">“We want to find the level in which your puppy notices the thing they are concerned about and we want to be working at that level”</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">If they are under threshold, let them observe the things that are concerning them</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Support and cheerlead them in ways that help them</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Adjust your expectations</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Counter-conditioning throughout their lifetime</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Is it a trend or a blip? If your puppy is continually spooking at something over and over, it might mean you need to make a more structured plan.</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Overall, please seek professional help!</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links Mentioned in the Episode:</p> <p><a href='https://m.iaabc.org/consultant/'>Find a Behavior Consultant on IAABC</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.ccpdt.org/dog-owners/certified-dog-trainer-directory/'>Find a Certified Dog Training and Behavior Consultant </a></p> <p><a href='https://www.dogdecoder.com/'>Dog Decoder App</a></p> <p><a href='https://brendaaloff.com/shop/71-canine-body-language-a-photographic-guide-interpreting-the-native-language-of-the-domestic-dog'>Canine Body Language</a></p> <p> </p> <p>You can support the Pandemic Puppy Podcast by joining our Patreon at <a href='https://www.patreon.com/pandemicpuppy'>patreon.com/pandemicpuppy</a>.</p> <p> <a href='https://k9ofmine.thinkific.com/courses/puppy-raising-blueprint?ref=69d53d'>Puppy Raising Blueprint Course</a> | <a href='https://www.facebook.com/groups/pandemicpuppy'>Pandemic Puppy Raising Support Group</a> </p>
