Nell has come SO far with her new pawrents in regards to her confidence!

Sometimes dogs that don't get adequate socialization as puppies can really struggle. Nell has an unknown socialization history, but she showed a bit of apprehension and was quite shy when I first met her. Her owners have put in a tonne of time and effort into her training and well-being. They've provided consistency and a safe place for Nell to thrive!

I am so happy for her, and I'm thrilled with her parents for giving Nell such a great environment to flourish.

Did you all know the best possible time frame to socialize your puppy is between 6 to 12 weeks old?!

This proves to be a problem for most pup parents and breeders, since baby puppies of this age range aren't fully vaccinated until after 16 weeks of age.

Our Puppy Start Right Preschool classes provide a sterile and safe environment for puppies to socialize. Please also reach out if you have any questions about safe socialization with new puppies. There is always a risk of disease, and as I personally learned the hard way, there are also severe behaviour problems that can occur from inadequate or poor socialization. There is a happy medium- what we call "safe socliazation" which is positive exposure in controlled environments until puppy has reached a safe age.

Check out what the Amercian Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior says about the topic:

"Are you sure you didn't split that treat in half?"🤔

Churro is taking part in our Day Training program, where I take a pup for 1hr+ per day and work with them and then bring them back home. Your dog gets to learn appropriate behaviours during the day so their parent comes home from work to a tired, well behaved dog🥰
