    “The rationale for enrolling puppies in such classes is based on research which shows that dogs who don't have adequate contact with other dogs and people during the early months of their first year of age are apt to become more fearful, aggressive, and uncontrollable.” https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/canine-corner/201905/do-puppy-classes-have-effect-later-dog-behavior

    The majority of dogs in the US are not receiving proper and early socialization. Dogs end up developing behavior problems that are completely preventable, resulting in owner surrender to shelters. Our program addresses every aspect of proper socialization. Contact us to find out how to safely and properly socialize dogs under the age of 14 weeks. YES, before they are fully vaccinated. There is a safe way to do it that will result in the best family dog. https://news.uoguelph.ca/2018/03/pet-owners-arent-adequately-socializing-puppies-study-finds/?fbclid=IwAR0GO0m4hfEyqw1wiWBGui3P46L2AGTwDDYUB2L2L1gt2t5z3i8JC1De0qQ
