If you have a new puppy to care for, you'll want to get him or her used to as many different things as possible. Here's a few tips to help you on your way :wink:
- Introduce your Lab to men, women & children.
- Let them meet other dogs (after vaccinations) and cats too.
- Take him or her to your local shop, and introduce them to new people.
- Expose your Lab puppy to loud noises such as the vacuum, police sirens, train noise, planes etc.,
- Take them on walks where they can see joggers, cyclists, maybe a policeman or anything you consider a little different to the average person. (Our Bradley always used to be a bit funny with people who wore hats!)
- Introduce them to your car, take them for short rides.
- If you're visiting a friend, take your puppy to show them other people and other peoples houses.
- Try to take them out into the country, where they can see sheep, horses etc.,
- Ask your vet about puppy parties, they are great for introducing your pup to other pups/people, and you might meet some new puppy owners too!
