Puppy Socialisation Outings - Highly Recommended for all Puppies!
All puppies need positive socialisation to help them develop into confident, happy, and healthy family members. We can help you with effective and efficient socialisation plans including daily tasks that you can complete from the comfort and safety of your home!
What is Socialisation?
Did you know that socialisation is not just about meeting people and other dogs?
Whenever your puppy is introduced to something (or someone) new, you have the opportunity to promote a positive experience that could have a lifelong impact on your puppy's welfare! Each socialisation exposure must be fun for your puppy as, if your puppy is forced to confront fears that he or she is not ready to handle, the process can backfire and create a fearful/aggressive response.
What Does a Socialisation Outing Include?
Each Socialisation Outing includes positive socialisation exercises via respondent and operant conditioning, counterconditioning, and desensitisation to people, dogs and 'strange' objects - Your Puppy Expert will pair the sights, sounds and smells that are encountered on each Socialisation Outing with treats, praise and play! Your DogSmith Puppy Expert knows how to progress at your puppy's pace, and at a distance your puppy feels safe - In lots of different environments ranging from the coast to the countryside, the veterinary clinic to a local café!
The outings can also be used to further practise and proof the behaviours that your puppy is taught during their Private Training Session or Puppy Solutions Class.
Also Available for Older Dogs!
*Please enquire if your teenager is experiencing any problems and we can advise you whether Socialisation Outings would be helpful or whether a behaviour consultation is required.
