Puppy Socialization will get your puppy started on the right track by conditioning them to engage with humans, dogs and the rest of the world thoughtfully and confidently.
When a puppy does not have an adequate amount of quality socialization in their first 16 weeks, they may develop anxiety, fear, and/or reactive behaviour to novel or unfamiliar situations (other dogs, people, objects, sounds and surfaces). In our Puppy Kindergarten class we focus on forming positive associations to a variety of experiences and provide you with the skills to continue to do so on your own!
