Puppy Class Leichhardt
Is your puppy insecure? How can you tell?
Building a puppy’s confidence is one of the most important things to focus on since many behavioural issues happen due the lack of confidence. Puppy Class Leichhardt focuses on raising a balanced and confident dog so that you can live stress free with your new family member!
Like us humans, dogs are born with certain personality traits.
But it’s the life experiences then contribute to the personality your dog ends up with. Some dogs, and breeds, are more confident than others. Insecure dogs feel unsure and unsafe when being introduced to new situations or new locations. Meeting a new person, traffic noise or other dogs might become a source of fear instead of being something nice to be around. Insecure dogs also become less confident when separated from their owners. The good news is, even if your dog was born insecure, there are many ways you can help to boost his confidence. You just need to start right away when you bring your puppy home!
First thing to do is to find a great puppy preschool.
Eazy Dog Training runs puppy schools in the Inner West of Sydney. I used to have a reactive dog myself, my very first dog, so my puppy preschool in Leichhardt is focused on preventing issues and building up confidence. All the experiences in your puppy’s life, especially the first few months, should be positive ones. To be able to know when your dog is comfortable, and when not, we need to be able to read their body language. And that’s what one of the classes is focused on. Puppy Preschool Leichhardt ensures that you go home understanding your dog better!
Helping your dog to become more confident is a matter of understanding canine behaviour, setting your dog up for success, making everything positive and always adjusting to your dog’s comfort level. So be patient and give it time, it will be worth it. A confident dog is a happier dog.
Signs of Canine Insecurity:
- Ears slightly or fully laid back
- Tail partially or fully tucked, eyes averted
- Head or full body turned away, snapping at other dogs
- Yawning
- Shaking
- Hiding
- Barking
- Lip Licking
- Scratching
