Socialising Your Puppy: Getting Started

Socialising your puppy is one of the most important things you’ll do for their lifelong behaviour and confidence. Early, positive exposure helps prevent fear, aggression, and anxiety later on.  

 
What is puppy socialisation?  
Socialisation means positively exposing your puppy to new experiences, including:  

- People (adults, children, people in uniforms, people with beards, etc.)  

- Animals (friendly, vaccinated dogs/cats)  

- Environments (parks, streets, shops, car rides)  

- Noises & Objects (vacuums, bikes, umbrellas, stairs)
