Puppy Plan

Excellent resource for puppy socialisation which we are working on putting into practice complementing our existing approach.

Small Dog Syndrome

What to look out for and nip in the bud for a successful, long term relationship with your fur ball.

House training

The puppies usually need to go for a wee/poo after they wake up, after play, after eating and before going to sleep.

Observe them and if they are starting to sniff around, sit in one place, move around in circles take them to the designated spot and leave there. Stay not far from them not offering too much attention. When they have finished their business offer praise.

Indoors you might want to use puppy training pads if it is raining outside and you cannot take them out.

Confinement training

For fast results separate a space out with the pen with space for their bed/crate, space for food/drink and a puppy pad. When they use the pad, dry it and put back as they will have the smell on it and it will associate pad with going to toilet indoors.
