Is your puppy afraid of the vacuum?
If your pup is afraid of the vacuum or you want to make sure it doesn’t escalate to that level follow these 4 tips
1️⃣, create a positive association with it while it’s off and at a distance away from your pup (where they can see it, but it’s not stressing them out)
2️⃣ slowly incorporate the sound of it running (still at a distance) but not moving, with good things (like treats)
3️⃣ add movement while it’s running, but at a distance your pup finds tolerable
4️⃣ As training sessions progress, you can teach your pup where you’d like them to hang out while the vacuum is on! Heavily reinforce for remaining calm and on the spot, bed or cot.
Save this for practice later when you’re working with your pup on this skill! #dogtrainer #dogtraining #puppytraining #puppytraining101
