This checklist suggests some things which you can introduce Pup to. Don’t worry if you can’t access all these items – don’t even try to, just use your imagination to add on new people, places and things. Variety is the key, and the list doesn’t need to be exhaustive. Remember, don’t over expose Pup. Short frequent exposures are better. If you think something is likely to be scary, then get someone to distract Pup with a toy and introduce at a distance, which is then gradually be reduced each time.
Tick off the items each time you add them into Pup’s diary.
