Puppies under 25 lbs are welcome to play in this supervised play group monitored by Canine Behavior Counseling.
Learn what is normal play, why bite inhibition is the most critical skill to teach your puppy, who is being a bully and how to give a puppy necessary feedback that he understands. Many people think socialization only involves meeting other dogs, while that is a large part of socialization, it is only one part of the equation. Slowly introducing our puppies to the world we live in is vastly important. So, I encourage you to take your puppy to as many new places as you can before he reaches 6 months. Help your puppy associate each new place with something he LOVES, like a favorite food or play. This will help your puppy grow into a balanced dog!
This may be a dumb question. But will you be present and supervising Judy?
ReplyDeleteFor the free Puppy Socialization sessions hosted by the Kennel Shop, I may only be there to set up and start the class. If I'm not there for the entire session, one of my assistants will be. However, for individualized and formal class instruction I am always present and leading the sessions. If this is something you are interested in, please contact me!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate all the great information you provided today. Looking foward to learning more in some possible counseling sessions as well as your small dog socialization classes.
