What are the differences between raising a toy breed puppy vs a larger size?
Easier on the walletNeed to be creative on training and reinforcement strategies as they can’t eat as muchCurate safe interactions that prevent potential injuries such as other dogs running them over by accident, getting on and off furniture, etc.Ensure you don’t bubble wrap your dogPrepare emergency scenarios, such as picking up your puppy when needed to protect them from getting run overPut picking up your dog on cueHow do we help little dogs become leash reactive?
It is easy to manage a small dogs behavior through leash tension because of their size, and its important to work against that Little dogs need to learn how to move out of situations on their ownBe intentional to treat them like a big dog. “Would I do this with my german shepherd?” Teaching them confidence is keyAs always, set them up for success, don’t push them over their threshold Their needs will change with ageLinks Mentioned in the Episode:

In this episode of Pandemic Puppy, Kayla discusses introducing your puppy to cats.
Everything depends on the personality of your puppy and your catSet up the environment for success: hiding places, elevation for cats; baby gates, leashesEnsure puppy is well-exercised but not overtired/crankyYounger puppies adapt more quickly/easily: with MOST really young puppies and many cats, you can allow for supervised interaction pretty quicklyBreed will vary for dogs - if your breed is more likely to be prey driven, earlier introductions are even better and management will increase through teenagerhoodReward BOTH animals for calm ignoring/calm interactionsSuggested treats for cats: meaty baby food on a popsicle stick, tuna, store-bought treats, bonito flakesConsider long-lasting chews or licki mats for puppy Handicap the puppy as needed, let the cat move freelyIf the puppy is highly aroused or the cat is extra nervous, use towels over baby gates and/or two baby gates for extra distance (especially for older puppies)Teach both animals that the presence of the other = tasty treats!Links Mentioned in the Episode:

In this episode of Pandemic Puppy, Kayla discusses undersocialized puppies.
How do you know your puppy may be undersocialized?
This will vary per dog depending on breed and personality, as some breeders are generally more reserved than othersPuppy history is important to consider. Hoarding or parvo puppies are usually very undersocializedIt’s normal for your puppy to startle around new things or to be a little shy, but it’s not normal for extreme reactions such as urinating or trembling, or if the startle starts to escalate. If this is the case, you should seek a professional behavior consultant.What to do if your puppy is showing signs of being undersocialized?
Go at your puppy’s pace; work harder, not fasterIf your puppy is under extreme distress, you are going too fastIf you can’t find a comfortable threshold for your puppy, speak to a professionalLearn dog body language“We want to find the level in which your puppy notices the thing they are concerned about and we want to be working at that level”If they are under threshold, let them observe the things that are concerning themSupport and cheerlead them in ways that help themAdjust your expectationsCounter-conditioning throughout their lifetimeIs it a trend or a blip? If your puppy is continually spooking at something over and over, it might mean you need to make a more structured plan.Overall, please seek professional help!Links Mentioned in the Episode:

In this episode of Pandemic Puppy, Kayla discusses chewing and everything you need to know about managing it!
Chewing is essential for behavior wellness, but thankfully the chewing habits will change over time. There are some great ways to manage chewing to make it a little more easier to deal withHow to manage chewing:
Make sure you are meeting your puppy’s needs!Puppy proof! Don’t give your puppy a chance to chew things that would hurt themGive LOTS of options: antlers, bully sticks, kongs, pig’s ears, bouillon ice cubes, mimic whatever they keep chewing without permissionSupervise always. Don’t wind down supervision until the puppy is trustworthy at their current levelCould the chewing be boredom/attention-seeking? Are you reacting to your puppy chewing on bad things and ignoring them when they’re being good?What do you do when you catch them chewing?
Make sure their needs are being met before any intervention Gently interrupt your puppy and redirect them to something elseBe careful not to create an accidental behavior chainWhat to look out for?
Ingestion/picaSometimes, excessive chewing is actually a sign of an upset stomach, GI issues, diet imbalance, or serious underlying stress.You can support the Pandemic Puppy Podcast by joining our Patreon at patreon.com/pandemicpuppy.

In this episode of Pandemic Puppy, Kayla and Dr. Leslie Eide discuss exercise and puppies. They cover everything you need to know about exercising your puppy!
Why are people so worried about exercise for puppies?
Too much of the wrong type of exercise could affect development Being proactive is good, but its important not to overdo it. Not everything will hurt your puppy, but at the same time, it’s important to do research on how to observe your puppy’s activity and movementWhat activities, if any, are clear no-gos for little puppies?
It is more important to focus on building your puppies stamina up for activities, such as slowly build them up Let your dog self regulate their exercise and don’t push them too hardBreed dependent? Individual? Neuter status?
There’s a general idea with breeds and their growth platesHowever, its more important to look at the dog in front of youWith larger breed dogs, its super important to work on body awarenessThere is still a lot to be learned when it comes to neutering and how it affects developmentHow do you know when it’s safe to add in an activity for an aging puppy?
Observe your puppy. When they are comfortable doing the movement themselves, it is okay to ask them to do it. But be careful not to overdo itTrust your gutUse “trial and success”Links Mentioned in the Episode

Patreon Question Answered:My sweet, almost 7 month old border collie can be a bit of a hurricane; most things are done at 100mph (minimum)! He has been checked out by a great vet CCRP and an amazing vet physio who are both really happy with how he is developing physically. He and I have been working on body awareness exercises since I brought him home to try to help him know, understand, and move his body. However, any and all body awareness he has learned flies out the window when he is excited (e.g. we were joking that he nearly injured himself trying to enthusiastically lift his leg on a stump before a class). After an enthusiastic play session with another dog, he is now sitting with an iliopsoas injury. And I am let wondering how to make sure he stays healthy and still gets to do things and be a puppy! Do you have any tips for how to build "resilience" (for lack of a better term) and help avoid injury for a young enthusiastic pup? - both mental and physical skills.

In this episode of Pandemic Puppy, Kayla discusses potty training. Potty training is one of the most difficult parts of puppy raising, but it is so important. Whether you’re a dog trainer or new to the dog guardian world, potty training can be difficult! Kayla covers the best way to go about potty training.
Sparks note on setting your puppy up for success with potty training:
Young puppies need to go out every 20-30 minutesIn general, puppies can hold their bladder for as many hours as they are months oldTake them out when they wake up, after they eat, and after they have a big drinkKeep them confined in a “puppy palace” or pen, when not 100% supervisedThis not only prevents accidents, but keeps them safeMake sure good reinforcement follows after they go to the bathroom Play with them and treat them after they goBe relaxed about it, don’t follow them around nagging them to goIf they don’t go when you let them out, there’s likely a good reasonEither they don’t have to go, or something in the environment is making them not want to goBe patient and do not punish your puppy for accidentsDon’t be afraid to reach out for help, whether its a trainer or a vetIt’s okay to go back to the basicsThere are so many ways to do it!
