In this week’s doggy advice video we talk about the importance of socialising your puppy or new dog and you may be surprised to find out exactly what the socialisation dos and don’ts actually are!
Preventing a behaviour is better than curing it
This week’s Down Dog Digestible is the next in our problem prevention series is about the all-important topic of socialisation.
Around half of this is about finding a good breeder, but the other half is up to the new owner.
We talk about the two big socialisation must dos and focus on what dog socialisation isn’t – something you may be surprised about.
My puppy socialisation book is jammed packed with advice
There’s plenty more information in my book, “How to Socialise your Puppy During Lockdown,” which is actually about socialisation at any time. It’s available from the website (still at lockdown price) or from Amazon, along with all my other books. And we have plenty of free help sheets available on the website, including an invaluable socialisation checklist.
Please do write in and ask if you have a question you’d love us to answer. We’re nearly at the end of this Digestibles series but we’ll have something a bit different for you very soon – watch this space!
You can find today’s Digestible here along with all the others from previous weeks.
Enjoy!
Keep safe,
Carol
