​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Why Is Puppy School So Important?

 

​Common behavioural problems can be prevented if your puppy is appropriately socialised during what's known as their ‘critical’ or ‘sensitive’ phase of development (up to 16 weeks of age). This gives us a small window of opportunity that will have a big impact on the rest of their lives.

 

Socialisation refers to the process of learning calmness and confidence​ in their environment to increase your puppy's ability to cope later in life. 

​​

A common misconception is that socialisation refers to playing with as many dogs as possible. This could actually be to your puppy's detriment. The hard part of socialisation is teaching them to be neutral and able to focus on you, while building positive associations to everything in their environment so that they can grow up to be happy dogs! ​
