Praised for our excellent support and advice, Canine Kids attracts dog owners from across the local area. We use kind, scientifically-based methods to help you train your dog. All our classes have a fun and friendly environment in which to learn and get together with other dog owners.
Some of our most popular classes include our puppy socialisation sessions.
Puppies have a critical period for socialisation, typically between 3 and 14 weeks of age. During this time, they are most receptive to new experiences and are more likely to form positive associations with people, animals, and new environments.
Like small children, puppies often have short attention spans. That means training sessions should be brief, typically 5 to 10 minutes long, and conducted several times throughout the day for optimal results.
Potty training is one of the processes which can be challenging and requires patience. Puppies may not have full bladder control until they are around 6 months old, so accidents are to be expected during the training process.
Early socialisation is crucial for a puppy's development.
Proper socialisation helps prevent behavioural problems and fear-based aggression later in life.
However, mental stimulation is as important as physical exercise for puppies. Providing puzzle toys, interactive games, and training sessions that challenge their minds can prevent boredom and destructive behaviour.
Canine Kids always make our training sessions in Surrey fun.
Training sessions should be enjoyable for both the puppy and the owner. Incorporating play and positive interactions can make learning more engaging and effective.
If you're struggling with puppy training or encountering specific behavioural issues, our team can provide valuable guidance and support.
