Is your family welcoming a puppy to your home in Surrey?
A fur baby is a little bundle of joy. Yet they can also cause all kinds of problems if they're not properly trained.
New owners in particular often don't realise how vital training is. Many novices have their dog grow up and deal with all kinds of issues. Canine Kids works with owners from across Surrey with dogs of all ages, including puppies which need socialising.
Perhaps their pet is constantly jumping up at passersby, or they keep chewing your shoes. Or they keep running into the road, ignoring your calls and putting themselves at risk.
Training helps shape a puppy's behaviour, teaching them what is acceptable and what is not.
This includes not only basic commands such as sit, stay, and come, but more advanced behaviours. Establishing good habits early on can prevent future problems.
Our socialisation classes in Surrey are ideal for exposing puppies to different environments, people, and other animals. This is crucial for preventing behavioural issues like fear or aggression towards unfamiliar people or situations.
It's also vital to introduce consistent messaging at home. Everyone needs to ensure your dog abides by the rules, so they understand what's right and what isn't. However, training should always be kind and reward-based, with no dominance based techniques used.
