Kelso is waiting for his new home. He’s our current foster dog! Read more about Kelso<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n Tweet of the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n This is one of my favourite readings on bringing a puppy into a new home. There is a rhetoric that puppies should be allowed to ‘cry it out’, otherwise you’ll be rewarding their crying and so create an ongoing problem. I argue if you let your puppy cry it out, you have in itself developed a habit<\/a> of crying when left alone – bad habit!<\/p>\n Dr Rachel Casey more pitches her post ‘How puppies become anxious ‘home alone’ dogs<\/a>‘ at the psychological level, but reaches a similar conclusion. I think this is one of the must reads for new puppy owners, and I have included it in my new puppy owners resource list<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dog Bites<\/strong><\/p>\n One of my niche areas is dog and child safety (and, indeed, my business<\/a> is based on this).
