49 Selworthy Vets - Puppy socialisation S


ocialisation is the process by which puppies learn to relate appropriately to


people and other animals. It involves meeting and having pleasant encounters with as many adults, children, dogs and other animals as possible. It also involves becoming used to a wide range of events, environments and situations. Experiences during the first


year of a dog’s life can make all the difference to their future temperament and character. Taking the time to socialise your puppy can result in a friendly, well-adjusted adult dog who enjoys the company of people, can be taken anywhere and lives life to the full! A puppy who lacks experience with the world will find many


things that we take for granted scary and is very likely to grow up to be a worried dog. A frightened and anxious dog is more likely to develop behaviour problems than a dog who has had a rich, varied and positive puppyhood. Here at Selworthy Veterinary


Group we run puppy socialisation classes every Wednesday afternoon at 3.45pm for approximately one hour - In our new premises we have the facilities to run classes in our secure paddock if the weather is good and in our stable block if the weather is against us! These classes are run by our Head


Veterinary Nurse Laura. Please get in touch with the


surgery if you think these classes would be beneficial to you and your new puppy.
