Bringing Your New Dog Home – How to Promote a Successful Transition to Family Life! Presented by Louise Stapleton-Frappell

CEUs: PPAB 1, IAABC 1, KPA 1

Did you know that it can take anywhere from a couple of days to several weeks for you and your new dog to adjust to each other?

Although you have chosen this individual to join your family, the dog does not know that what is happening is something good, that he has a new family home. The dog is likely to be fearful, anxious, or stressed. This might manifest itself as lethargy or over-excitement. The dog might engage in distance-increasing behaviors. Triggers might stack up, making it difficult for the dog to cope.

In this presentation we are going to cover DogNostics’ recommendations for successfully introducing a new dog into your family, helping ensure that the transition into your home is as stress-free as possible for both you and your new family member.

Although the presentation is aimed at pet dog owners, it will also help pet professionals provide guidance to their clients, and shelters provide guidance to new adoptees
