Interview with the Director of PUP Dog Rescue:If you’d like to know more about PUP Dog Rescue and more about how to find a good rescue organization, as well as get some tips about picking a good rescue dog for you, here’s my interview with Laura Tonkin (She’s the Director of PUP Dog Rescue)
Outline from this episode
- Focus on handling exercises from episode 41 but incorporate baby
- Increase the intensity of the handling slightly to approximate the handling a dog may get in the future from a somewhat well behaved toddler
- concentrate some training on interrupting feeding and toy play with your puppy – always reinforce with a very high value treat.
WARNING: do not do this exercise to solve resource guarding with children – only do this as a preemptive training focus
