Socialization 101

4 WEEK COURSE

One of the hardest things for dog owners to do is properly socialize their dogs! It’s a careful balance between exposing your dog to the things that they will encounter in daily life and as a performance dog, and making sure to not overwhelm them. This class is designed to cover all aspects of socialization ranging from the needs of those not planning to do dog sports to people who want to compete in multiple venues. This course is not aimed at a specific sport, but rather provides an outline that can be customized for all participants. In this class we focus on how to introduce dogs to people and environments without magnetizing them and teaching them how to work in distracting areas.
