Why Is Puppy Social Time So Important?
Because socialization is the key to getting a well-behaved and friendly adult dog. Socialization is the process through which puppies learn what’s safe and good in life and what’s not. Anything you want your dog to calmly accept in adulthood, you must introduce her to repeatedly and in a positive way in her earliest months. If you miss this critical window of opportunity, normal behavioral development may make your puppy wary, even fearful, of new people, sights, sounds—and other dogs.
At our Puppy Socials, your puppy will meet new dogs of many sizes, breeds, and temperaments, along with friendly people equipped with treats and praise. Your puppy will run, play, sniff, wrestle, and be petted many a time, all of which is great for exercise, developing social skills, and learning to like people and other dogs.
