beautiful puppy programs
The Beauty of Puppies is all the possibilities in front of you.
It feels like anything is possible!
Do you want a best friend you can show off around your neighborhood? Or do you love adventure and dream of having a buddy by your side? Maybe you want your kids to grow up with a playmate like you did.
Puppies go through changes that can surprise us. The peaceful, quiet, sleeping puppy you brought home may have already changed into a loud, energetic furball with shark teeth! Are you starting to get stressed out? This isn’t why you got a puppy!
Don’t stress. We’re here to get things on track! We’ll give you all the help you need to successfully move through puppyhood - and we’ll teach you the secrets to making your dreams for your new puppy come true!
One of those secrets is proper socialization. Socialization is vital for puppies - in fact, the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior states “Incomplete or improper socialization during this important time can increase the risk of behavioral problems later in life including fear, avoidance, and/or aggression. Behavioral problems are the greatest threat to the owner-dog bond.” But what is good socialization? Find out in our programs!
All Programs are open to puppies under 7 months of age
