Public Puppy Level One - 1 session $40
Benefits puppies from 8 weeks to 6 months or before you bring your puppy home. THIS CLASS IS WITHOUT YOUR PUPPY.
This Class is for those who aren't comfortable in a group class prior to their full set of vaccinations but still want to ensure they are meeting their pups developmental growth stages during this critical stage of puppyhood. Why is this important? Puppies who aren't socialized early may develop fear-based behaviors, including fear of strangers, new environments, or other animals, which can lead to behaviour issues later in life. A well-socialized puppy is better equipped to learn new things throughout their life, including training commands, adapting to new environments, and forming positive relationships.
Topics covered:
What socialization actually means.
What types of things to do in the home to socialize puppy.
How to socialize your puppy with attention to different personalities ensuring positive experiences.
Exposure to the sights, sounds of everyday life. How to safely socialize your puppy to the outdoors even without their full set of vaccinations.
