Socialisation & Introducing your pup to an older Dog
13. Socialisation
· Carry your pup in your arms until fully vaccinated.
· Start quietly and build up to more activity gently.
· Be very aware of noise.
· Do not make a fuss of your pup is he/she is frightened by a noise, just turn away or distract with a toy.
· If you are out walking and your dog is frightened by a bigger dog, allow your dog to move within the length of the lead – do not tell off. Remember Fight, Flight, Freeze or Submit. Your dog is unable to get away when you are holding the lead.
· When your dog barks, say ‘Thank you’ because your dog is calling the pack, which is you. If your dog continues, put your fingers to your lips and say “shush” very quietly. Your dog will stop and listen to you.
· Please never smack your dog.
·
14. Introducing Pup to an older Dog
· Use a cloth to mix scents.
· Meet on neutral territory i.e. away from the first dog’s home.
· Do not leave your pup and the adult dog alone at first; either may need protecting from the other.
· Have the pup on your lap on the floor, unless you are going to let the adult dog on the furniture later.
· Everything must be done for the older dog first.
· When feeding the dogs, you can use a child or dog gate (it might need a wire mesh). Feed the older dog first, on the other side of the gate so that they can see each other feeding, but can’t dive into each others’ bowls – (this could otherwise lead to a possible fight). Put your fingers in the pup’s bowl. Always stay with your dogs when they are feeding.
· You will need bowls of water in both areas.
· You will need two toy boxes; the adult dog keeps his/her own toys. Let the older dog instigate play with his/her toys with the pup.
· You also have your own toy to play with the dogs. You get the toy out, and you stop the game. Then put the toy out of reach – this is your toy as pack leader.
