8 week example of puppy training & socialising program

*From week 2, you will see that you could allow your pup to meet another dog.

The criteria for this is as follows:

  • Pups mum must have been up to date with her vaccinations when pregnant
  • Pup must have had first vaccination
  • Dog you want pup to meet must be healthy and fully vaccinated
  • Meeting should take place in pups own garden

There has been much scientific research done on this and the evidence shows that by following the above advice, the developmental benefits to a young pups brain and behaviour far outweigh any health risk involved.
