Socializing Your Puppy in Puppy Preschool Annandale

Why you need to socialise your new puppy right away

Many dog owners know that socialising their puppy is important. But not many know how to begin. First thing to understand is that socialisation doesn’t mean dog play. It means introducing your puppy to new things and situations so that he will become a confident adult dog. Introducing your puppy to new people and other dogs and animals is important part of it all. My puppy preschool Annandale is focus on the socialisation aspect of raising a puppy. It’s the most important thing to focus on when it comes to preventing behavioural issues later on.

It is important to teach your puppy that new people and animals are a positive thing.

Exposing your puppy to the world in a positive way will help them develop into a social, obedient and confident dog.

The most critical socialization time for your puppy is between 8 and 12 weeks of age.

During this time, your puppy needs to be exposed to a variety of people, animals and situations. Allowing your pet to experience these things in a positive way early in life will prevent fear and aggression issues in the future. Eazy Dog Training Puppy preschool Annandale will also help you promote your puppy’s obedience. A puppy needs to be taught good behaviour models to prevent any issues later on.

Although socialization can continue throughout puppyhood, it is important to start the process as early as possible.

Puppies begin to develop fear response at about 8 to 10 weeks of age. Early reinforcement of positive behavior around other people and animals is critical for your puppy’s development. Not being exposed to different situations early on may lead to aggressive behaviors, such as growling, barking, or biting.

The power of positive encounters

Before exposing your puppy to new situations, people or animals, you should consider whether it’s a positive experience. Negative experiences during this critical learning period in your puppy’s life may lead to a fearful adulthood. So don’t allow kids to rough handle your puppy, or introduce your dog to aggressive or antisocial dogs. Think about every experience you’re giving to your new pup, is it worth experiencing?

In addition, you should also consider the safety and health of your puppy during socialization.

Since puppies do not receive full vaccinations until about 16 weeks, it is important to choose wisely when socializing your puppy. Puppy schools are great for this. My puppy preschool Annandale is run in a clean, safe and controlled environment.
