Puppy Academy
Congratulations on the arrival of your new puppy.
Right now, your little, energetic, wriggly bundle of joy, requires a great deal of time, love and patience. But if you put in hard work now, you will be rewarded with a loyal and loving companion for many years to come.
Why socialise your puppy?
All canine behaviour is learned, and dog’s rely on their parents (human or canine) to introduce them to the wide world around them. If we don’t socialise our dog’s then they don’t know how to respond in each environment, to different people, other animals including dogs and objects.
By spending time with your puppy at Doghouse Daycare, our experienced and dedicated team can help guide your dog during these critical early months, so your dog’s learning continues, even whilst you are at work
Where should you start?
The first few months of a puppy’s life is filled with discipline, teething and potty training. But socialisation is also a critical part of a puppy’s early education.
Socialisation refers to the safe introduction of your puppy to other dogs, animals, people, places and objects. The experiences you expose your dog to will teach them how to behave and respond in different situations.
At Doghouse Daycare, we are committed to helping even our youngest four legged friends, become polite and confident members of our community. And our Puppy Academy is the perfect way to socialise your puppy in a safe environment.
