How in the heck can you get your puppy socialized during the pandemic? In this video Denise offers 3 tips that will help you manufacture positive, fun and creative experiences for your puppy!
Socialization is a window of opportunity that lasts until your puppy is about 5 months old. The Covid-19 virus may really throw a kink in your plans to get your puppy socialized out in the world, but don’t worry … there is plenty you can do from home.
When thinking about socialization, think about:
- Sights
- Sounds
- Tactile
The key to positive socialization is that you pair the experiences with HIGH VALUE food to make an association and that your puppy has FUN. Start with noises and experiences far away and then bring them closer as your puppy shows she is comfortable, if she is NOT comfortable (looks scared or can’t eat the food) then stop and re-evaluate. You don’t want your attempts to create socialization experiences to cause fear.
Get creative and put on sunglasses, overcoats, a variety of hats and helmets, masks, goggles, etc. anything that makes a person LOOK different from the puppy’s perspective.
Create different experiences with sounds around your home. Hammering, tools clanking, engines running, etc.
Tactile experiences can include putting down a tarp or an x-pen fully extended and laid flat on the floor for your puppy to walk on.
The more creative you are with these ideas the better … just remember it needs to be a FUN game for your puppy!
