Raising Toy Breed Puppies with Amber Quann Pandemic Puppy Podcast

In this episode of Pandemic Puppy, Kayla speaks with Amber Quann about raising toy breed puppies.
What are the differences between raising a toy breed puppy vs a larger size?
Easier on the wallet
Need to be creative on training and reinforcement strategies as they can’t eat as much
Curate safe interactions that prevent potential injuries such as other dogs running them over by accident, getting on and off furniture, etc.
Ensure you don’t bubble wrap your dog
Prepare emergency scenarios, such as picking up your puppy when needed to protect them from getting run over
Put picking up your dog on cue
How do we help little dogs become leash reactive?
It is easy to manage a small dogs behavior through leash tension because of their size, and its important to work against that 
Little dogs need to learn how to move out of situations on their own
Be intentional to treat them like a big dog. “Would I do this with my german shepherd?” 
Teaching them confidence is key
As always, set them up for success, don’t push them over their threshold 
Their needs will change with age
