Puppy Culture Potluck: Ep35 - Puppy Meltdowns: "Bringing Back" a Puppy That's Had a Bad Experience

Listen Later

The question is about what to do with puppies that have meltdowns at shows or trials or any socialization situation:


"My 7 month old puppy just had a meltdown. At our National this past weekend he showed OK on Thursday and Friday. A little unsure. But showed. On Saturday he was amazing and took Winners Dog. Sunday, he had a complete melt down. He has shows again in 5 days my inclination is to pull him. Work with him at home. Thoughts?"

In this episode I discuss:

  • When to hold back, and when to continue exposing puppies after meltdowns
  • Rating experiences for success
  • Thoughts about avoiding future problems
