Puppy Dog House

Will a puppy interacting with just one dog in the house be enough to "socialize" him?

I have two dogs , one is a little over a year , the other about 6 months. They are both different breeds, my question is since the older dog has had the chance to socialize with both dogs and humans and is very obedient will his behavior reflect onto my other dog? will the interaction between the puppy and the older dog alone be enough to "socialize" the puppy.

No, the pup need expose to more then 1 dog, and to listen and learn of the new sounds on walks, plus meet other dogs and people to be properly socialised, otherwise you will have behavioural issues, such as puppy that will growl and snarl when running into a dog on the walks. One adult dog isn't enough to socialise the puppy, what makes you think 1 dog will teach the pup everything it needs?

The pup needs to deal with unrulely dogs, submissive dogs etc plus deal with people in weirdo uniforms, plus he needs to here the sound of lawn mover, window's and door banging on walks.

The pup is well and truely old enough to go out on walks and socialise with other dogs.

I can guarantee that if you just let your current dog socialise with the pup. Your pup will be a fearful mess when out on walks as adult, plus may also be a fear biter as not used to seeing people in uniform which is another benefit of taking puppy out.

Don't be lazy. Owning a puppy REQUIRE EFFORT AND WORK. TAKING THE LAZY OPTION WILL RESULT IN BEHAVIORAL ISSUES YOU'LL LATER REGRET

DAP Dog Appeasing Pheromone Spray (60ml) $27.59 DAP (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) helps stop or prevent fear and stress-related behavior in puppies and adult dogs that result in: destructive behavior, excessive vocalization (barking, whining, etc.), house soiling, excessive licking, anxiety. D.A.P. helps comfort the puppies and adult dog in stressful situations such as: introduction to visitors or strangers, visits to the veterinarian, moving to new homes, adoption, novel and unpredictable situations leading to phobic reactions. In mammals, lactating females release substances called appeasing pheromones the function of which is to reassure the offspring. Canine appeasing pheromones are secreted by the sebaceous glands of the intermammary sulcus in the lactating bitch. These pheromones calm the puppy during times of stress and provide reassurance, particularly in unknown environments and when encountering novel experiences. Research has shown that the reassuring properties of these pheromones persist even into adult age. D.A.P. (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) reproduces the properties of the natural appeasing pheromones of the bitch.

Building Dog Houses

Building a doghouse that's perfect for your dog can be a rewarding, entertaining process. However, you have to do it with a plan, and you have to know what your house should do. You'll get lots of different advice when it comes to building a dog house, but in the end, it has to suit the needs of your specific dog. To be a good dog house, it doesn't need to be complex - it just needs to keep your dog dry and comfortable, as well as safe. Let's take a look at ways to build a house for your pet.

Dryness

The big thing any doghouse should do is be dry inside and stay that way. While rainy days might result in some water being tracked in, the house should generally be dry. However, even when it's been properly waterproofed, humidity can be a problem. Mold and bacteria can grow in humid areas, so a house that has proper ventilation and won't get too humid is important. Wood houses generally breathe automatically to some degree, since they are made of a porous material. However, vents or a flap type door can significantly improve the dryness.

Temperature

You may be tempted to build a house for your dog that's well insulated and even heated. However, you should understand that dogs don't need the same level of warmth that people do, since they have fur and are relatively resistant to the elements. Even short haired dogs have a lot of insulation against the cold. That means that while protection from the elements, particularly rain and wind, is important, you shouldn't put a heat source in, and you should avoid over insulating.

Your dog is used to cool temperatures, and may get hot in a house that you would consider comfortable. Any insulation used should be well covered, since dogs may chew on and ingest exposed insulation. This can be very dangerous. A hollow wall with airspace is the best form for a dog house, since fiberglass can contribute to rotting wood in the summer.

Size

You can build your dog's house too big. People don't like to sleep in huge spaces, and neither do dogs. Build a house that's large enough for your dog to fit while lying down, plus about three inches on each side. Make the height four to six inches taller than your dog's shoulders. Remember that your pet's body will be heating the space in the dog house, and that dogs prefer a cozy den to a spacious palace.

Materials

Plastic and wood are the best materials if you're making your own dog house. Both can be disinfected to some degree, are durable, and can have good ventilation with the right design. Some owners who want to build really durable houses use concrete blocks or metal. However, these tend to be chilly and damp in bad weather, making them poor choices. Metal covering on the outside of a wooden house can be an excellent method, however. Prefabricated plastic houses are also surprisingly good.

Doghouse doors, bedding, and other supplies like dog clothes can be obtained by shopping online or looking at local stores. You can even buy entire dog houses if you don't feel like making your own. Take a look at all the options and create the perfect environment for your pet.
