Puppy Training Journey #7 Introducing Household Appliances to Your Puppy

I quickly learned that introducing Ruby to household appliances like the vacuum cleaner was one of the most overlooked yet vital parts of puppy training. In my journey, I used systematic desensitisation and positive reinforcement to transform Ruby from a vacuum-chasing whirlwind into a calm, confident companion around all sorts of noisy, moving gadgets. By taking the time to introduce these appliances during the critical socialisation window, you can prevent long-term fears and nuisance behaviours, making everyday cleaning stress-free for both you and your dog.
