WEEKLY PUPPY GROUP
Thank you for your interest in our PUPPY GROUP and for taking your time to read about it!
To me, a puppy group should represent a safe peaceful, and joyful environment. It should also be about reinforcing manners, fostering calm-submissive energy, and teaching proper social behavior. Our PUPPY GROUP is NOT a dog park with a CHUCK&CHEESE unstructured environment. Our PUPPY GROUP is an equivalent to a structured piano lesson in which all puppies can practice social behavior with their peers but overseen by responsible human pack leaders.
Dogs are among the most social of all animals. That’s one of the things they have in common with humans, and it’s one of the reasons our two species have become bonded over the past tens of thousands of years. You may have trained your puppy to sit, stay, come, heel, get the paper, carry your slippers, or turn out the light before barking “Good night,” but if he doesn’t get along well socially with other humans or other dogs, you haven’t got a balanced puppy. And if your puppy isn’t balanced, he won’t grow up to be a dog that gets to experience all the joys and adventures of life.
Socializing with other dogs. Too many times, when puppies grow up without the contact of other dogs, they lose their inborn common sense; they become rusty at speaking their natural language. When we raise puppies without other dogs around, it’s vital that we take extra steps to socialize them early so they will always be able to read the signals and understand the important etiquette of their own species.
My dream is of a world where there are fewer dogs accidentally bitting children, fewer dogs altercations, and no more fatal dog attacks. By socializing your puppy to dogs and people when he is young and making sure his manners are in order with both species, you are not only shaping a better life for the both of you, you are also contributing to the pro-dog society that I am committed to helping to build!
