Socialisation

Appropriate socialisation provides a foundation for your dog's confident and positive behaviour in the future.

The sensitive period of puppy development is between the ages of eight and sixteen weeks. During this time, exposing your puppy to a range of new experiences provides them with opportunities to develop appropriate responses.

On the other hand, you will also be encouraged to keep your puppy confined until it has completed its immunisation regime.

It is important to strike a comfortable balance between socialising and protecting your puppy.

During your Kintala Puppy School lessons, your puppy will be interacting with other healthy immunised puppies of similar age while also learning new skills and developing its bond with you. As part of this, your puppy will also be exposed to new people and experiences.

The Kintala Puppy School will provide a strong foundation for continued socialisation and training for you and your dog.
