Episode Summary
When welcoming a new puppy home, getting organised is a must. In this episode, I explore everything from toilet training to managing puppy biting and teaching your new pup to settle in.
I’ll share first-hand the realities and practicalities of puppy ownership, the importance of consistency, and commitment to establishing good habits right from the start. I also will explain the crucial process of puppy socialisation – shaping their worldview with calm, positive experiences- the importance of understanding your puppy’s behaviour and emotions and gradually introducing them to learning how to settle in different situations.

We all dream of that perfect journey when we first welcome a new pet, but animal ownership and companionship aren’t always perfect; it’s a journey of ups and downs. From those unforgettable moments of laughter to when we and our animals need a helping hand.
I’m Lauren, a clinical animal behaviourist, and Fur Real Conversations explores the realities of pet and animal ownership, one paw at a time!
I’ll share experiences, valuable expert tips, and candid conversations that inspire, empathise with and motivate you to lead the best life possible with your pet.
Creating a harmonious home with cats and dogs is often considered a challenge, but seasoned cat and dog behaviourist Lisa is familiar with the process.
In this episode, Lisa shares her expert guidance and essential strategies for introducing these furry friends while reducing anxiety and stress for both pets.
Together, Lisa and I walk you through the crucial steps of pre-introduction scent swapping to the importance of observing initial interactions and practical solutions for everyday challenges, such as dogs chasing cats and the environmental stressors that affect feline behaviour.
Whether you’re a new pet owner or looking to improve your multi-pet household, Lisa’s insights offer actionable support to create a safe and loving environment for all.
