Your new puppy will LOVE our puppy daycare!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Puppy Daycare in Birmingham is fun!<\/h2>\n

We’re so excited to see all the new puppies that we expect after Christmas!\u00a0 Did you know it’s one of the most common times of the year to add a furkid to your family? But making sure that puppy becomes a healthy and awesome adult dog is WORK. Puppies between the age of 3 weeks to 18 weeks are in their\u00a0Socialization Stage<\/em>. Most new pet owners are getting their pups at 8 weeks- after they get their vaccinations, it\u2019s great to begin socializing them. During this stage, it\u2019s critical that you introduce your puppy to a variety of people, animals, sounds, things and places to ensure proper puppy socialization.<\/p>\n

As fun as it is to get new puppy home, you should start thinking about socialization opportunities.\u00a0 Puppy training is a good start, but\u00a0puppy daycare<\/a>\u00a0is even better!<\/p>\n

Enjoy and treasure those puppy days, as they fly by\u00a0so darn fast. \u00a0And speaking of how quickly puppyhood is over, let\u2019s review the essentials of puppy socialization.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why does your puppy need to socialize?<\/b><\/h2>\n

From about 3 weeks to 18 weeks old your puppy is in the socialization period of life. \u00a0Puppy comes specially prepared for taking in lots of new stuff with an extra bit of resilience and curiosity. \u00a0The puppy socialization period is the most important period of your furbabies life, so \u00a0don\u2019t squander this time. \u00a0Is your puppy already past 18 weeks old? \u00a0\u00a0You\u2019ll still want to continue your efforts with socialization tasks. \u00a0Despite the extra preparedness time has lapsed, your puppy will indeed be taking in all his new life has to offer.<\/p>\n

Puppy socialization is all about preparation and prevention. \u00a0We want to use this period of your puppies life to prepare her for the many life experiences she\u2019ll encounter as a social family dog. \u00a0We also want to do all we can to prevent serious behavior problems in the future that stem from fear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The power of first and early experiences for your puppy<\/b><\/h3>\n

1st and early experiences have enormous weight on if your pup will see something as safe or scary. \u00a0While in the socialization period, we\u2019ll want to shower your pup with as many experiences as humanly possible. \u00a0Yet always ready to swoop in and be her hero if she gets overwhelmed. \u00a0And remember being your pups hero is maintaining a calm and reassuring presence yourself.<\/p>\n

With our ability to set up those first and early experiences in a thoughtful way, we\u2019ll ensure they\u2019re indeed good experiences. \u00a0One exposure to a particular new experience is not nearly enough. \u00a0We want lots of padding, as in many times this situation has predicted lots of fun. \u00a0When bad experiences inevitably do happen, your pup has had lots of previous good times and the likelihood of her concluding this is now dangerous in her mind is much less likely.<\/p>\n

Why puppy daycare is a great choice for new puppy socialization<\/b><\/h3>\n

Your puppy can thrive in a Dogtopia environment!\u00a0 Our puppy daycare services allow your puppy to socialize & exercise, learning and growing all day long.\u00a0 ALL while under the supervision of our staff.\u00a0 Can it get any better? We don\u2019t think so.\u00a0 Contact us today for a tour and you\u2019ll see why!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
