Does the puppy become anxious, suspicious, and suddenly do not really want to obey you? Your dog has reached the ghost age. Follow five simple tips and create security for your young dog.
Do not break contact with other people, the dog needs to learn that strangers are not dangerous. However, reduce the stress so that your training does not have the opposite effect.
De-dramatize
Go yourself to the object the puppy is afraid of and handle it in a relaxed way, without making any big deal of the thing in front of the dog.
Died
Move the puppy’s focus away from the upsetting moment and be calm and safe yourself.
Praise
Reward the dog when it stays calm.
Play loudly
Train the puppy to handle noise by, for example, hiding sweets under or on top of swaying saucepan lids, or playing next to a construction site. Of course, you should not go so close that the dog’s hearing (or your own) can be damaged!
