Puppy Socialisation


Puppy Socialisation

It’s very important that your puppy has positive interactions with other people and dogs during their first few weeks to help them grow into a confident and well-behaved member of the family.

As they’re not generally allowed to go to dog parks or socialise with other dogs before their third vaccination, Puppy Pre-school can be a great way allow your puppy to socialise safely with puppies of a similar age (and other humans!). It’s also a wonderful opportunity for you and your pet to learn basic obedience skills, loose-lead walking, toilet training, positive reinforcement techniques and more.

Once your puppy is fully vaccinated, it’s a good idea to expose your puppy to different interactions. These could include taking your puppy to visit someone else’s home, inviting friends over to meet your puppy at home, introducing your puppy to a (fully vaccinated) adult dog or cat, or taking them to new environments such as workplaces or cafés.
