                                                Socializing Your Puppy

One of the most important parts of raising your puppy to be a happy healthy part of your home is socializing. It is essential that all dogs develop the social skills in order for you both to enjoy a happy life together. Dogs that haven’t been socialized often develop problems in dealing with new people and dog such as timid & fearful behaviour, aggressive behaviour, dominance issues, and become territorial. Often these dogs can be a problem when taking to the groomer and veterinarian. While some breeds are naturally sociable others may be more reserved or solitary by nature, however if the proper effort is made any dog should be able to adapt to life with you and your family. We recommend you read ”The Dog Listener“ by Jan Fennell before bringing a new puppy home (Actually we recommend you read this even if you’ve got a dog already or are thinking of getting a dog, or a second dog etc…)
