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.
Have you ever wondered what living with a reactive dog is like?
In this episode, I will share my personal experiences with my Greek rescue dog, Poppy, and the ups and downs of life with a sensitive canine companion. I will discuss how I initially felt embarrassed about her reactive behaviour but gradually realised it was a cry for help and not a sign of hostility.
You will gain insights and strategies on managing your reactive pet’s environment, respecting their social boundaries, and recognising the importance of their downtime needs.
