1 Tip - on life with your dog
Taking your dog to new places with different sights, sounds, smells, and surfaces will build their confidence and resilience.
How to do it:
Begin with quieter spots like a new street or quiet park.
Increase variety gradually, try outdoor cafes and different walking surfaces (long grass, gravel, sand).
Keep it upbeat with treats, and praise and loads of sniffing.
If your dog seems overwhelmed, move further away or head home.
1 Idea - on the leading edge
A well-socialised and adaptable dog is less anxious in new situations and generally a happier companion.
