Puppy Socialisation Session

You’ve brought your puppy home… and suddenly the world feels very big.

New people.
New places.
New dogs.
New noises.

And everyone seems to have a different opinion about what you should be doing.

This relaxed workshop focuses on one of the most important parts of raising a puppy — helping them build positive experiences of the world around them.

Because socialisation isn’t about letting puppies meet everything and everyone.

It’s about helping them learn that the world is safe.

Rather than teaching cues like sit or down, this session looks at how puppies experience new environments, why behaviour often changes outside the home, and how owners can guide their puppy through these early stages with confidence.

During the session we will explore:

• What socialisation really means (and what it doesn’t)
• Why puppies can seem “perfect at home” but forget everything outside
• How the 3Ds of training — distance, duration and distraction — affect learning
• Helping puppies experience new environments without overwhelm
• Understanding normal puppy behaviour in busy places

The aim is not to have puppies running around playing together. Instead, this session helps owners understand how to support their puppy as they explore the world around them.

The workshop lasts around one hour, with a short break halfway through so puppies can reset if needed.

Puppies remain on lead throughout the session and owners are encouraged to bring a mat, blanket or chew to help their puppy settle during the talk.
