The one thing that makes a sociable dog is being allowed and encouraged to be sociable as a puppy.

Many people find the first few months of puppy ownership problematic. The pup can’t go out and mix with other dogs until those vaccinations are fully up to date and yet there’s an important window between 8-14 weeks where your puppy ‘needs’ to build confidence. From around 12-14 weeks puppies should be encouraged to mix with other well balanced dogs in a variety of environments to continue to build their confidence and social skills.

The best way to help your new pup learn those all important social skills is to let them interact with other well behaved dogs in a controlled environment. It’s not always possible to work out if the dogs in the park will play too hard with your pup or whether they want to play at all so getting him a playmate can sometime be hard work. Ever seen those dog owners who walk away with their dogs on a tight lead, change direction when they see you coming and won’t let their dog near you? Nobody wants that for their dog but it happens, often without those owners really realising. For a dog, fear of the new and unknown can start small but it builds over time and the end result can be a dog who simply doesn’t know how to interact with other dogs or people.

Our puppy care package is a great stepping stone between your puppy’s arrival and the glorious big wide world.
