😕"You don't want my puppy to play with my mates dog...but hang on, how can they get confident without those play sessions".
Confidence first.....Playdates second.✅
Play is play.
It really isn't true socialisation.
If we force interactions on an anxious puppy or a puppy that is struggling with confidence.... we can cause issues which can take a very long time to resolve.
Quality interactions over quantity.
I can't stress that enough.
If there is one thing I could wish for, it would be the following.
Please....
Be choosy with who you expose your puppy to.
Be particular.
.....and please stop letting your puppy meet every random person or dog they come across.
