Reduce your puppies stress in his new home


Sounds Sociable Leaving mum is a stressful time for puppies; they have to cope with all sorts of new people, places and sounds, without the support of their mother. Te experiences that a puppy has during its first few weeks of life will make a huge difference to the kind of dog it will grow into. Puppies who are poorly socialised are more likely to become fearful and aggressive as adults; puppies who receive a wide range of stimulation in early life are more likely to become well adjusted sociable pets. Sounds Sociable is a CD programme which


contains noises such as traffic sounds, vacuum cleaners, loud noises, and sounds of children amongst others that your puppy may not have heard. Essential information about how to socialise your puppy is included in the package, as well as tips and training advice for avoiding the little problems that all owners face when they get a new puppy such as how to settle your new puppy at night, housetraining, introducing your puppy to car travel, going for the first walk, and meeting people. By using this CD you can reduce your


puppies stress in his new home, and help your puppy to develop into a confident and happy companion.


Te pack includes:


• A CD of noises, traffic, fireworks, thunder, children and applause.


• Full instructions for how to use the CD to get your dog used to the sounds.


• A booklet of useful training tips to teach your dog socialisation skills, housetraining and problem prevention.


Sounds Sociable is available for purchase at £12.77 from www.soundtherapy4pets.com For a chance to win these great CDs fill in the form on page 3.

34 • Equine Canine and Country Life Sounds Soothing


Sounds Soothing is the first CD and training package on the market designed to prepare cats and dogs for the arrival of a new baby. The programme contains essential information to address many of the issues people face when introducing their pet to infants - such as helping the pet become accustomed to the sounds of babies and children, teaching dogs not to jump up at the baby and most importantly helping the pet to accept the new baby without feeling left out, which ultimately ensures that the infant stays safe and the pet remains relaxed. In 2009 approximately 110,000 dogs


were recovered as strays after being abandoned1 and many of these cases were related to the arrival of a new baby in the home; this figure is believed to have risen over the last year. Stories in the media of children being bitten by dogs highlight the need for a product like Sounds Soothing, so this CD package was designed to teach owners how to socialise their pets with infants and prevent unnecessary heartache for pets and owners alike.


The pack includes:


• A CD of child and baby noises for your dog to get used to


• Full instructions on how to use the CD correctly to get the best results


• A booklet of training exercises that can be used to teach your dog to stay calm during nappy changes, feeding times, and when walking with a pram. Sounds Soothing is available for


purchase at £12.77 from www.soundtherapy4pets.com
