Your
Mission
this month -
should you choose to accept
- is to
understand the basics of successful puppy
socialization classes.
In the last two decades, much
has been learned about the best ways to shape canine
personalities into ideal canine companions. The most
important lesson learned
in recent years is that dogs
develop better personalities from positive reinforcement and
gentle methods that from traditional
obedience methods using collar corrections
Gentle methods are
also
simple and easy to do at home to prevent common
problems with house training, destruction, hyperactivity,
excessive barking, fearfulness, and aggression toward dogs
or people.
Puppy socialization classes
are the BEST time (early on) to teach pet parents how to use
proven, gentle methods to teach puppies at home.
Offering puppy parties or socialization
classes or recommending one nearby is the BEST
give
to help people raise well-behaved dogs.
In puppy
socialization classes, puppies learn important lessons from other puppies in the setting
nature intended - play time. Puppies learn to inhibit their
bites because gentle play attracts more play mates. Puppies can also
learn a helpful vocabulary with off-leash, gentle methods. The
goal of puppy class is to help clients start off right to
raise IdealDog™dogs.
