Sensible Socialization
Do you wonder, "is it safe to socialize my puppy before they've had all their shots?"
Yes! You can safely socialize during the critically important socialization period when shots are not yet complete.
Socialization is so much more than up-close interactions.
I'll teach you strategies to help your puppy grow into the best dog they can be
– even while maintaining appropriate social distancing from dogs and people -
in accordance with the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior's recommendation on puppy socialization

A welcome from your trainer

Raising a puppy sometimes feels like a trial, but also can bring joy.
​
It's a delight to see the unfolding of your pup's personality as they grow.
​
Punctures and potty frustrations are sometimes unavoidable (because we humans are forgetful) but you can minimize them when you learn some tricks of the trade.
​
I look forward to sharing my experience to help you maximize the joy and minimize the frustrations with your puppy.
