Episode Summary
When welcoming a new puppy home, getting organised is a must. In this episode, I explore everything from toilet training to managing puppy biting and teaching your new pup to settle in.
I’ll share first-hand the realities and practicalities of puppy ownership, the importance of consistency, and commitment to establishing good habits right from the start. I also will explain the crucial process of puppy socialisation – shaping their worldview with calm, positive experiences- the importance of understanding your puppy’s behaviour and emotions and gradually introducing them to learning how to settle in different situations.

We all dream of that perfect journey when we first welcome a new pet, but animal ownership and companionship aren’t always perfect; it’s a journey of ups and downs. From those unforgettable moments of laughter to when we and our animals need a helping hand.
I’m Lauren, a clinical animal behaviourist, and Fur Real Conversations explores the realities of pet and animal ownership, one paw at a time!
I’ll share experiences, valuable expert tips, and candid conversations that inspire, empathise with and motivate you to lead the best life possible with your pet.
Recently, I adopted Luna, a feral cat, who has found her forever home with me.
In this episode, I explore the implications of caring for a cat like Luna in a rural environment while promoting her well-being and acknowledging her natural hunting instincts and their impact on local wildlife.
I’ll reveal the careful balance between her independence and her security and the positives and negatives of indoor versus outdoor living for cats, reflecting on their temperaments and the surrounding environment’s influence on their quality of life.
