Socialisation Period  6 Weeks

11/27/2016

Since the puppies have reached the age of 6 weeks old we have been introducing new people and new activities each day.

The puppy play area has wobble boards, a canine fitness step for them to climb over, wobble cushions and a ball pit.

Each puppy has been encouraged to walk over or interact with the different pieces of equipment using small pieces of chicken as reinforcement. This helps the puppies to gain confidence by making sure the puppies have positive experiences.
The puppies have also been out and about on the lawn, taking in all the new smells, sounds and sights of the outdoors.

The puppies are beginning to be more choosy about where they toilet and are using the toilet area at the end of their pen most of the time. Puppies raised in a clean environment will be easier to toilet train as they are used to being clean.
