For episode eight, Kayla speaks to Bryony Aviles of Sandy Paws Dog Training about socializing your puppy during a pandemic.
We Cover Questions Including:- What is socialization?
- Why does it matter?
- What’s the socialization period? What if you miss it?
- What sort of things should you expose your puppy to?
- Are all puppies the same? Can you use a one-size-fits-all approach?
- Behaviorally, what should you keep an eye on?
- What do you do if your puppy is nervous or overly excited about something?
- What checklists/resources do you like?
- What if you can’t hit everything on the checklist?
- How to do safely with pandemic AND unvaccinated puppies?
We also cover the Patreon question, "My new rescue amstaff mix puppy (40 lbs) is generally so rough & mouthy that he often hurts my little 9yr old morky (12lbs). He bites at his legs and sometimes stands over/on top of my morkie when trying to play. It doesn't seem to be intentionally aggressive."
