Whangārei’s leading puppy classes
Early puppy socialisation is vital. The sensitive period for socialisation is from 3 until about 12 - 14 weeks – it’s a crucial time in a puppy’s development because their brains are especially receptive to learning about the world they will live in as they get older. It means puppies have to encounter and be comfortable with all of the things you want them to accept gracefully as adults - all kinds of people, other dogs, other animals, noises, surfaces, sights, and smells etc.
The class is designed to make your life with your new puppy easier. It will help you raise a dog you will enjoy living with.
