Wag Your Way to Bliss
Well-Socialised Pups = Happy People
Make the most of this vital period (8-16 weeks) of your pup’s life by prioritising socialisation.
The window of socialisation is brief, and pups need quality socialisation opportunities, not just quantity. Don't overlook this pivotal opportunity—laying the groundwork for healthy relationships with people, animals, and the world around them. This period of your pup’s life is important and influential in their learning, and what is done now can prevent behavior problems in the future. Take advantage of this critical period.
