Ensuring your puppy is properly socialised is one of the most important things you can do for them. But what exactly is socialisation? From around 4 weeks to 16 weeks of ages, your puppy’s brain is like a sponge, absorbing new experiences and taking in the world. When they have particular experiences during that window, such as meeting and playing with other dogs, you ensure they are equipped to thrive in life and exhibit the right kinds of behaviour in future encounters.
Failing to socialise your puppy can sometimes, but not always, mean they’re anxious about certain interactions. Visiting Groomingtails to socialise your puppy with others can be a hugely rewarding decision, and getting them in for a groom early on ensures they’re cool, calm and collected during future grooms!
