Puppy Imprinting, Exposure & Social

Service Description

*Message Dana if you are interested and share with anybody you know who might be getting a puppy. Puppy Imprinting, Exposure, and Socialization Classes designed specifically for very young puppies. These classes focus on safe, structured exposure during the most critical developmental window. Puppies will be on leash and will not have close contact with other young puppies, as not all will be fully vaccinated. However, they will receive controlled exposure to fully vaccinated, well-balanced dogs, along with a wide variety of: • Sounds and noises • Surfaces and textures • Everyday tools and objects • New environments • People outside of their immediate family Puppies will also be introduced to soft agility, including basic climbing, navigating different heights, and learning how to move their bodies with confidence in a safe, age-appropriate way. The imprinting period—from 8 weeks to 16 weeks of age—is critical. Proper exposure during this time helps prevent fear, insecurity, and reactivity later in life and plays a huge role in developing calm, confident, and balanced adult dogs. Early work matters. What puppies learn now shapes who they become for the rest of their lives.
