I have owned nine puppies and had many rescue dogs new to my home, and all have become amazing adult dogs. It might seem I was lucky, but the truth is that I followed a process! And there are things that I don’t do with my puppies or dogs when they come to live with me. I’m covering the 10 common mistakes that people make with a new puppy. Avoiding these 10 things that people do intentionally or inadvertently when they get a new puppy will set puppies up for success.
In the episode you'll hear:
• The 10 mistakes to avoid when your new puppy comes home.
• About the layers of the 5C Formula applied to puppy raising for confidence.
• How clarity for me starts with a puppy learning how to be excited and how to be calm.
• That you have permission to go shopping before your puppy arrives.
• Why to decide the method of training you want to use with intention.
• About having realistic expectations because puppies are babies.
• How to create an environment to set a puppy up for success and confidence.
• The importance of keeping your slippery floors covered so puppy does not slide.
• Why to avoid indoor pee pads if you want your puppy to potty outside.
• About the appropriate timing of socializing puppies.
• How an overtired puppy is cranky, overstimulated, and needs sleep.
• Why I encourage you to have your new puppy sleep in the bedroom at night.
• A bonus tip to prevent counter surfing and scavenging from the get-go.

I have appreciated so very much all the puppy podcasts you have available as I am in my first months with this pup - you forget so much since the youngest dog was a pup! Thank you so much!

@YourNotesEchoedFar 11 месяцев назад

Is it okay if my puppy is barking/whining in her crate? I work full-time so it is about 3-4 hours before I can play with her again after morning play and before evening play.

Thank you so much for giving us the grace to let go of high expectations--including maybe for ourselves? I had this hilarious conversation with myself yesterday: Me #1: "OMG what am I doing wrong? She doesn't have name recognition yet!" Me #2: "Relax. It's day THREE and she's only 8 weeks and three days old!" LOL

Small question. I live above my inlaws chinese restaurant where there's a dine-in area and a pick-up area. The restaurant is quite cozy and usually there are only 0 - 2 customers at any given moment. Customers come and go. Would it be possible to set up one of the playpens inside the restaurant in a calm corner and spend some time there a few times a week? We have the space there for a playpen with a crate and our dogs are allowed in the restaurant (just not the kitchen). I wonder if spending a few hours there doing sleeping, crate games, some training with his meals, some alone time with enrichment etc. would be suitable for a puppy. He'll be able to hear the restaurant sounds, people talking, will see all kinds of people come and go. I will probably put something that sais "Do not pet", but I'll also make a natural barrier with some chairs and tables so the puppy can see them, but they can't see the puppy. I wonder if this is a good idea or a bad idea (maybe it's too much!)

@DogsThat 5 месяцев назад

Hi @theamziss love the way you are thinking this through! Below are two videos to help, one has games for puppies, and while the episode is about fear periods, they games are great for all pups and dogs. The second is about dining out with your puppy or dog, and what a great space you have for that to practice!

I'm on Day 4 of owning a puppy, and I've been STRESSED out especially with my first day back at work with her yesterday. Working fulltime is hard, and I can't imagine working in office. Your videos have been so helpful!! I'm excited to try out those games with her. I think I've been putting way too many expectations on myself. My little golden's started to be a lot more interactive, and I felt like I was doing something wrong; but I think she's just more comfortable (yay!) and I need to encourage more naps after shorter play periods. I think I've still been overplaying her even after knowing puppies are like toddlers who "aren't tired." 😆

@DogsThat 11 месяцев назад

Congrats on your new puppy! It's normal to feel that way, but you can totally do this ❤️

Help! I have a 6mo old Chihuahua puppy who wants to be on the TOP of my recliner, above my head. My recliner is in the middle of the room. It's a long way down. I am afraid she will fall off. I have tried but I can't break her. What can I do?

@ryannhamilton350 2 года назад

Challenge: I have a dilemma. My 10-year-old, 4-pound Russian Toy girl has used pee pads all her life. She came to me from Russia at 10-months old solidly paper trained. Her pee spot is in a corner of the little-used dining room. In a few weeks I am getting an Old-Time Scotch Collie puppy. I intend to train this puppy to pee/poop outside. How in the heck am I going to pull this off?? Any and all suggestions encouraged.

@debbieshulman3711 Год назад

Puppies that are 3-8 weeks pee and poop all over. Can you use pads till they are 8 weeks and up? My pups pee all over except their crate area. They come out to pee

@@DogsThat my puppy is 4 months old. I'm having a horrible time potty training her. She hates being outside. Yesterday from 12:30 pm to 7:45 pm I walked her outside for 10 minutes, back to the crate for 10 minutes then back out. She held potty the hold time! This morning she did poop outside but would not pee. I've been back and forth all morning. Finally I had to take care of my son. I had no eyes on her for a few minutes and she went pee on the floor. She had parvo and had to be hospitalized for 3 days and nights. We let her go on puppy pads because she was so sick. Now she's a stubborn goat! 🤣 I'm glad I found this channel. She is my first dog and I have no clue what I'm doing.

@DogsThat 8 месяцев назад

Hi @gpparis2023 it's so great your puppy has you!

@nathaliedrey3347 2 года назад

Thank you for all the advices Susan. I have watched quite a few of your videos. I like your enthusiasm and the way you deliver your message. I’m getting a puppy in 2 weeks time and I wondered if you have done a video on raw diet or not. My puppy is currently being fed on that by the breeder and although I would like to carry on, it’s not as simple as kibbles and it’s also more expensive. However, I want to feed my puppy a healthy diet and I’m not convinced kibbles are meeting the dogs health requirements. I was thinking about buying human mince meat but I think there should be some offals and bones added. Here in the UK supermarkets it’s not as easy to find offals (other than kidneys and liver) and bones is impossible unless you go to a butcher, I guess. What would be your suggestions ?

@VaLiamZ 2 года назад

Excellent suggestions I needed a year ago. IYC has been such a key ingredient to building a relationship with my pup. Also, I see that “take-a-moment” tee from DreadfulBird!

Hi! Speaking of floor covering - we are getting a new home and I want something dog friendly. Just can't decide what - every surface is in the end slippery. Laminate can't handle much water, vinyl is durable, but slippery, don't want tiles ... 😅 Do you have an experience what is more or less ok, or if rougher the surface the better?

Speaking of shopping … Any recommendations for where to buy a perch or target for perch work, pivots, etc.? I live in a small town and I’m not seeing anything local to me that would have perches/targets that look like the ones you use. Even just a brand name would be helpful. Thanks!

@casdragon_5939 2 года назад

I think she made hers; I just use a book (when they were small) and now balance pads/balls that I got off amazon. There's nothing local for me either, but I've found that a lot of human exercise equipment works well for dogs (and is cheaper).
