Pick up your dog and go home and clean the crate later. Open the crate door and clean the crate at the airport.PreviousNextQuestion 2On the way home after picking up the dog at the airport, the dog seems to need a potty break. Can you stop by a dog park or somewhere and let the dog out? Yes. After the long flight, the dog needs a potty break. No. The dog is at flight risk. It’s best to go directly home and let the dog out in a secure environment.PreviousNextQuestion 3When you arrive home, can you take your dog to the backyard right away and open the crate there? Yes. My dog will want to run around and do his/her potty outdoors right away. No. When the dog first arrives after a long flight, they’re likely feeling nervous, scared, and disoriented. This can often lead to attempts to escape, especially in the backyard. Trying to catch them will make them even more frightened, and calling them inside won’t work if they’re too scared to respond. To help them feel safe, it’s important to leave the crate door open inside the home, giving them a secure space to retreat to until they begin to feel more comfortable with me and their new surroundings.PreviousNextQuestion 4What are common behaviours that may occur when your dog arrives? (Select all that apply.) Being shy, nervous, and scared. Barking at the door and being cautious. Potty accidents on the floor. Waking up at night and whining or panting.

Crate training. Provide more mental and physical stimulation. Do nothing; they will adjust to being alone over time.PreviousNextQuestion 9It is possible for a dog to become overstimulated, which can lead to negative behaviours. True. Avoid bringing your new dog to parks, introducing them to many new people, or starting training classes right away, as overstimulation can cause stress and reduce their desire to engage. False.

Reward them when they don’t react. Gradually decrease the distance and repeat the process. Expose them to the male while attached to a collar.

If they start barking, yell loudly to redirect their attention.PreviousNextQuestion 11What action should you NOT take after your dog’s arrival?

Retractable Leash Bungee Leash Chain Collar Easy-Walk Harness Y-Shape Harness Quick-Release ClipPreviousNextQuestion 18When you signed the adoption agreement, you agreed to follow the Safety Equipment Protocol. How long should you follow the protocol? 3 months. 6 months. 10 months. Minimum one year.PreviousNextQuestion 19Why should adopters follow the Safety Equipment Protocol? (Select all that apply.) A new dog takes about a year to settle into their new environment. The protocol helps protect your dog from getting lost during this adjustment period. Adopters cannot be completely familiar with their dog’s behaviour in a few months. It takes time and experience to understand what might trigger or scare your dog, and this learning process can take at least one year. A scared or overly excited dog can slip out of a regular collar or harness and run into the street, risking being hit by a car. Wearing an escape-proof harness is critical for safety. Using a regular leash may lead to accidental drops and losing your dog. A waist-worn leash ensures adopters have secure control and reduces the risk of losing their dog in any situation. For dogs over 12kg, a two-leash system is important because a single leash might fail to secure the dog if the dog suddenly pulls or panics.PreviousNextQuestion 20What is the best approach for adopters to ensure their dog’s safety? Follow the Safety Equipment Protocol for 3 months, then switch to a simpler harness and leash. Practice off-leash because they’ve never lost a dog in the past. Consistently use safety equipment and follow the protocol for at least one year to ensure their dog’s safety. Trust their confidence and dog-savvy nature, relying on their instinct.
