Mia
Working with puppies is one of the best parts of my job and I have a particular soft spot for Pomeranians! Mia’s owners contacted me when she was 9 weeks old as they were interested in puppy classes.
After a little conversation, it became clear that Mia had not had much of a chance for socialisation yet and so we decided to move forward with a Puppy Package to prevent any fearfulness or reactivity from forming.
When I first met Mia, she did not know her name or any basic commands so we looked at how to teach her the basics. We also spoke about toilet training, getting her to settle through the night, building up separations and diet. Mia was proving to be a little fussy around food so we spoke about how to get her motivated to work for her kibble, without using higher value treats.
Once she had had her vaccinations, Mia joined puppy classes and was very confident coming in, which was lovely to see. She picked up all of the commands and her owners worked hard with her at home so that she was able to move onto more advanced obedience.
Well done to little Mia!
