The socialisation stage is vital for a puppy, in the same way it is for human beings and many other animals. So, why is it key if you want a happy, confident dog?
Firstly, it's vital for their behavioural development, exposing your furry friend to a range of stimuli. Our puppy socialisation classes are ideal for getting them used to different people, animals, sounds, environments, and objects.
In the long-term, this will reduce the likelihood of fearfulness, aggression and anxiety later in life. When interacting with other dogs and humans, puppies learn vital social skills.
Our puppy socialisation specialists in Surrey can reduce the risk of fear and aggression.
Early positive exposure to different people, animals, and environments helps puppies learn that these things are not threatening. This can prevent the development of fear and aggression towards unfamiliar stimuli in adulthood.
Build up your puppy's confidence and make them more resilient.
Just like with people, positive social experiences are key for ensuring puppies become more adaptable and self-assured. As with all types of training, it's vital to do it in a kind and reward-based manner.
Puppies that are not properly socialised may develop behaviour problems like fearfulness, aggression, or excessive shyness. Proper socialisation reduces the likelihood of these issues arising later in life, making the dog easier to handle and live with.
Our puppy socialisation classes can also help you form a strong bond with your pooch.
