Be gentle as you guide the dog through new things

Melinda Wines

You can tell by dog's posture, eyes, and position how he feels about a situation. Never push a dog toward something he doesn't want to do. Instead be there with a kind hand to comfort him if he's worried, just as you would do with another person.

Great explanations, nice to have video to back up a concept, dispels a lot of well-meaning myths about “puppies must meet 100 people and dogs a week!” Or whatever it is people think is right. Also dispels “a tired dog is a good dog!” Something people say but make it sound like you need to do more and more and more exercise, potentially damaging the puppy, teaching him to be overaroused, not giving him enough sleep, not giving him calm, thoughtful experiences. Great tips for what a puppy actually needs in his development, rather than just “exercise” and potty training. I wish all new puppy owners could see this!

I have a lot of experience with dogs, my own and having managed a breed rescue program for 12 years. We recently acquired a 10 1/2 month old pup from the breeder, which is quite bit different than purchasing a 10 week old pup! I found the information helpful to review, as a reminder for myself, on how to best help this pup along in her new life and world. I will go on to study the From Maddening to Maturity webinar.
