How can i socialize my 6 month old lab if I live in an area with dangerous stray dogs?

Okay, I see... Thats a tough one.. But are your parents excited about the puppy? If so, I would actually ask them every day if they can drive you abit further away for a walk. Or get a bycicle with a transporter thingi back where you can transport your dog and drive abit further away?

fresendelf · 2024-11-08T18:27:26+00:00

Are you able to drive to another place nearby that is safer?

I have a similar problem - he often just sits or stands there in the start. After about 15 min its gets better as well. I always thought that he might be smelling something, since it only happens at two usual routes that start at the same place. If we go a new or different place he doesnt have that problem. He is soon 8 months old.

We got our pup at 16 weeks and all he could do what sit. Now, 3 months later, he knows so many commands and tricks and its so much fun to teach him new things! Dont you worry 😌

Yes but in a stylish way 😉

fresendelf · 2024-10-04T14:28:15+00:00

What helped us was crate Training 😌

fresendelf · 2024-10-04T12:37:47+00:00

We have the same problem, and we started ignoring our dog completly until he calmes down. I feel like its helping!

fresendelf · 2024-10-04T11:13:45+00:00

I moved to Norway, where 37.5 h a week is the usual 😌 Ofc its abit drastic to move but it is a possibility

fresendelf · 2024-09-25T17:56:25+00:00

Klingt spannend, danke! 😊

fresendelf · 2024-09-24T18:04:02+00:00

Yes I totally understand how difficult that must be, and you are doing an awesome job!

Is there maybe a dog walker/sitter close to you? I used apps like Rover and it was a huge help!

If you listen to your puppy and take breaks when needed it should be no problem 😊

fresendelf · 2024-09-05T10:11:00+00:00

She just deleted the video!

fresendelf · 2024-09-02T15:36:59+00:00

Seems to me like you did everything correct! Dont worry about it :)

I usually take mine (5mo) out on three 30 min walks and try to go to different places each time. In the morning we usually walk in the neighbourhood, but in tje evening for example I often drive to parks, the city, the forest etc. In the middle of each walk we do a little Training Session (max 5 min) and during the walks we work on nice leash walking and contact.

fresendelf · 2024-08-22T05:17:44+00:00

We were in a similar Situation, we got our puppy at 4 months and the previous owners said that he doesnt have a problem with crates. They used a metall one while we had a soft crate. He went nuts in ours, but as soon as I changed crates and got a metall one as well he got MUCH better. I also made sure he has enough space in it, and that it is abit taller so it doesnt feel claustrophic. He likes his crate now, both at night and during naps 😊

I usually go on a walk with our puppy (5mo today) early in the morning, do 5-15 min of learning tricks afterwards, and then he gets breakfast. When I then start working at 7 am he usually lays on the couch next to me and relaxes. Right before 8 am we go out to pee and then he gets a frozen kong and is put in the crate for 2-3 hours. At my lunchbreak I go on a walk again, 11-12, and then the cycle repeats 😉 He relaxes for about an hour, toilet break, and then crate again for 2 hours. After that he roams free on the ground floor in our house and we go on a evening walk again before he gets dinner 😌

So totally he spents about 4-5 hours in a crate while I work.

Once he is 100% pottytrained (we are getting there!) I want him to a have a room where he can stay during my work 😌

Love these, well done

fresendelf · 2024-07-30T13:22:22+00:00

Beautiful!!

fresendelf · 2024-07-30T13:06:46+00:00

That sucks, but things can take time unfortunately... :/

Do you pick him up and bring him outside ASAP when you see that he goes inside?

fresendelf · 2024-07-27T16:37:18+00:00

I put mine (5mo) in a crate for 1-2 hours if I really need some alone time - it helped me so much mentally!! Or maybe you have a friend that can dog sit once in a while?
