FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

October 5, 2013 - South Side Dogs Advise Owners on How to Help Their Puppy Adapt to a New Home Environment

Highly reputable upstate New York dog breeding company, South Side Dogs have recently announced a new campaign to instruct home buying pet owners on helping their dog to adapt to a new home environment. By following the advice of South Side Dogs during this campaign, owners will discover that their pets are calmer and less prone to anxiety during the different environmental transition.

Like young children, dogs too can become scared within a new or unfamiliar environment. Therefore it’s important for dog owners to take the time to ensure that their dog is comfortable before leaving them alone within a new property. One of the best methods for helping dogs to integrate within a new environment is to bring one of their favorite toys along. Dogs often have one toy that they cherish. And just seeing that toy within the new environment is likely to calm them down during the adjustment period.

In addition, it’s imperative that items they see every day, such as their food bowl and water dish, are placed in the same area of the home as they had been in the previously property. This will help the dog develop its routine again and ensure that it knows where to go when it feels insecure about the surroundings.

Pet owners can help their dog during this difficult time by being exceptionally patient with them. Often, the anxiety they feel will cause the animal to bark more than they might have previously. It’s imperative that owners not yell at the dog when they bark in the new property. This could cause the animal to have a negative association with the home and reduce their comfort levels. Distressed animals must be comforted with familiar faces and given water or food in order to help them reduce their fears. Immediately after the dog calms down, they should be rewarded with a treat. This will help them to develop an understanding on their expected behaviors within their new surroundings.
