Puppy Socialisation

Puppies have a critical socialisation phase up to approximately 16 weeks of age. This is the stage in which puppies learn to relate appropriately to humans, other animals and the world around them. Socialisation is one of the most important things you can do for your puppy, helping them grow into a relaxed, happy, outgoing dog! We recommend building up new experiences gradually and not to introduce too many new experiences in one day (three a day is plenty enough). Take a look at the list below to give you an idea of what your dog should experience in this stage.
