The first three months of a puppy's life are critical for socialization.
It's important for puppies to be safely introduced to various dogs, people, objects, sounds and environments during this period.
Providing a safe, structured, and supervised setting is essential for successful socialization.
According to the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, puppies should begin attending classes before completing their full vaccination schedule.
Unfortunately, puppies isolated until after four months of age often develop lasting issues with fear and anxiety.
Provide positive exposure to puppies, people, handling, items and sounds. Address common puppy training concerns such as potty training, puppy biting, and more.
