Make sure you socialize your pup with a lot of different situations - people of different age and look (also wheelchairs, strollers, let him know there are bikes that may be passing you by and such), parks and streets with different level of noise. Make sure you wait for the OK after the shots and do it gradually though. I took Pepper a lot of different places, parks, my job where he interacted with various people, parks, walks, store (in a bag), car trips, street fair etc. He was a barkless dog for the first months- now barks, but it not a yapper, and it's easy to calm him dow and have him not bark. |
