Managing New Dog Introductions - Expert Dog Training Tips
Thereʼs a few things to consider when introducing a new dog at home when you have other pets.
Bringing a new puppy or rescue dog home is exciting, but it needs to be handled carefully to ensure it’s a positive experience for everyone involved, particularly when it comes to other pets.
Here I provide my top dog training tips to help introduce a new puppy or dog into your home.
1. Introducing a new dog is best on neutral territory
2. Keep it calm
3. Create a positive association
4. Watch their body language and play styles
5. Remember punishing a dog who is reacting out of fear, can make it worse.
6. Make sure the play is not one-sided
7. Give them their own safe space
8. Avoid Resource Guarding
9. Keep cats separate until you are sure they and the dog are calm and comfortable in each other's presence.
10. If going out, always ensure a barrier is between other animals until you are sure there arenʼt going to be any problems.
11. Give older dogs time out

As a dog behaviourist I see this as a common dog behaviour problem that stems from fear - either because a dog was not ...

    I never had a dog get car sick until I got Sooner, our 17 lb, 1 yr old, Cavapoo. As soon as I put him in the backseat of the car he starts shaking and whining incessantly. We have already had two instances of a 2hr trip each way where he got sick multiple times. I even tried Dramamine twice before the last trip and it didn't seem to phase him. He is naturally hyper with guests and jumping in the house, which we are working on. At this stage, what is the best way to break him into vehicle travel?

    Hi all, just note that motion sickness is very real in dogs and it can be hard to tell what is the root cause sometimes, so a tip that I put into practise with my other dog Vindi who is anxious but also gets actual motion sickness is to stop and pull over regularly so he can get out and run around, which helps stops the motion element, and I always look out for when ever he starts to fidget or pant as that is usually the first sign he is not feeling well, so I try to pull over as soon as possible for that. Cheers, Lara

    My dog associates the car with going to the park, or other enjoyable activities with me. His anxiety comes from being stuck in traffic on the highway. And even more panic when inside containment of any kind. He has a level 6 heart murmur. One of these tips really help us.

    • @poochesatplay
      @poochesatplay 2 роки тому

      HI Luis, unfortunately like us humans (myself included) dogs may always feel a bit of motion sickness. My rescue dog does, so could still be a little bit of anxiety included, so do follow some of the other tips provided in this segment. Particularly only feeding a small meal before any travel, plenty of fresh air, if a small dog - a booster seat so they are up high, close to the air and can see the road ahead, stopping frequently to let them get out and take a walk is important too - usually when the car stops the motion sickness stops, so on short trips you may need to stop frequently and slowly build up the time they spend in the car (in case they get a bit of anxiety about being sick every time they get in the car). There are also some travel tablets for dogs with ingredients like ginger that can help soothe stomachs - talk to your Vet or pet specialty store about those options. Best of luck, Lara

      Hi there, for some dogs with anxiety it can help calm them if they are in that room. It will just depend on how severe their anxiety is. It's not designed for car travel, the adaptil spray or collar is for that (collar needs to take time to work and usually lasts about 6 weeks, so you wouldn't put it on the day of travel, two weeks in advance of a big trip would be best.

    SO???? It takes Real time to slowly get the dog more comfortable with car rides. That said I'm guessing then that the dog stays home until this is accomplished? Which defeats most of the plans because you are putting them in Kennels? While YOU are on the road?

    • @Larashannon
      @Larashannon 3 роки тому

      No, that's not the case at all. if you start straight way when your dog is a puppy it will be quick and simple and if you do it a few times a day with an older dog and you prepare for your trip in advance (which anyone must do when planning a pet-friendly holiday) and start this training a few weeks before you go, then you have time to prepare your dog!! You'd be hard pressed to find anywhere to stay with your dog if you planned a holiday last minute, and anyone with anxious dogs would need to start all sorts of other training before taking a dog on holiday to ensure their dog is okay with going to such places anyway. Oh and there are plenty of pet care options these days if dogs don't go on a holiday with their family, so not sure why you assume everyone has to put their dog in a kennel!!

      Hi John, most of the key tips about desensitising your dog to car travel are in the video or this article explains it in a short step by step: poochesatplay.com/training-behaviour/dogs-that-get-anxious-in-the-car/ You really do need to go back to basics and start creating a positive association with the car, so starting at home with it turned off and not moving, providing treats or toys and then turning it on and not moving etc. All the time rewarding no howling and calm behaviour so that you reinforce that desired behaviour. I do skype consults that can be purchased via our Shop poochesatplay.com/shop/ but this is something that a trainer really does need to see in person to assess it, so given my location in Australia I would suggest seeing if you can find someone to come out to you here: positively.com/dog-training/
