Puppy Socialization Group - $10/class
What is a Puppy Socialization Group?
Puppy socialization is where we have a small group of puppies of similar age combined with positive reinforcement-based training. This activity provides critical socialization time with other puppies, helping the puppies grow into well-adjusted pets. In this setting, a puppy's reward for training is
being able to play with other dogs.
When to socialize your puppy?
Studies suggest that the ideal time to do this is from 7 weeks to 6 months of age. Your puppy goes through a socialization period that permanently shapes their future personality and how they will react to things in his/her environment as an adult.
Why to socialize your puppy?
The idea behind socialization is helping your puppy become acclimated to all types of sights, sounds, and smells in a positive manner. Proper socialization can prevent a dog from being fearful of other dogs. It will help them develop into a well-mannered and happy companion.
Improper socialization can lead to behavior problems later in life.
