Puppy Car Sickness and Anxiety

Episode 6

Sunday, January 17, 2021 • Duration 07:48

My Mini Aussie, Dixie, used to suffer from severe car anxiety, which made her drool the entire car ride and throw up once she got home. Now she enjoys riding in the car.

Here are the 4 steps that I used to help her overcome her car sickness and anxiety.:

I use a car booster seat
Played soft music
Opened windows and sunroof
Used a very small dose of Trazodone

Here are 3 things that you can do to help eliminate anxious puppy behavior in the car:

Don't reinforce anxious behavior with a lot of vocalizing
Don't allow puppy to have zoomies in the car
Don't take puppy for rides until they like the car

How to Stop Puppy Play Biting

Episode 5

Thursday, January 14, 2021 • Duration 09:31

Puppy play biting is one of the most undesirable behaviors that every new puppy owner wants to get fixed. It cause some serious physical damage and frustration to the entire family. This is not related to dog aggression. Play biting has to do with the puppies bit inhibition, or how hard the puppy bites down on the human or other dog.

The technique that I use with clients puppies is called "correct it, and redirect it". Simply put, you have to interrupt the puppies undesirable behavior and immediately redirect that behavior to something that you want instead. I explain it all in this podcast.

Also, be sure to visit our website https://topgundogtraining.com/ for related articles and links to our social media pages for video demos on stopping play biting.

Owning a New Puppy is a Lot of Work

Episode 1

Friday, January 8, 2021 • Duration 16:33

One trend I have seen in 2020 is that everyone is getting a puppy. People are home a lot more, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, and they seek companionship and a new addition to the family. What they don’t know is that raising a young puppy is a lot of hard work.

In this podcast, I am going to explain the responsibility and dedication that it takes to successfully raise and balanced and obedient puppy without creating behavior problems. After you read this, it would be a good idea to also read a related article that I wrote last month called How to prevent dog behavior problems.
