🐾 Socialization or Obedience — which should come first?
We get this question all. the. time. And here’s the truth:
✨ A well-socialized dog is calm, curious, and confident.
✨ Obedience becomes easier when your pup feels safe in the world around them.
Think of it like this:
Before they can listen to you, they need to know the world isn’t scary. That’s what socialization is all about — gently introducing your pup to people, dogs, places, sounds, textures, and more 💕
🎯 Once your dog feels secure, obedience training clicks faster (and with a lot less stress for both of you!).
👇 Now we want to hear from YOU!
