Reasons to Consider Puppy Preschool
Congratulations – you are a new puppy owner! Your new addition is soft and snuggly, sleepy and curious. Even though you may be totally smitten and in the middle of some serious puppy love, you are also smack in the middle of your dog’s biggest learning time. It’s true – your sleepy eyed puppy is learning so much and the experiences you give your puppy now are the ones that will shape much of his personality and temperament going forward.
If you are new to owning a puppy, or if you are a puppy pro, choosing to enroll your puppy into a Puppy Preschool program is a solid step for your growing relationship. If you aren’t quite sure why Puppy Preschool is one of the best investments you can make with your dog, here are just a few reasons why you should get started soon.
The socialization
First and foremost, Puppy Preschool is one of the best ways to socialize your pup. In preschool, your dog will be introduced to other puppies and humans of all ages. In your regular life, your puppy may only be exposed to you and your immediate family. The preschool experience gives your dog a chance to see other dogs and humans, and to have a positive experience with both.
The confidence building
A confident dog is a happy, safe, and calm dog. In contrast, dogs that are afraid of new situations are often anxious, unpredictable, and even aggressive. Preschool offers your dog the chance to try new things, see new things, and hear new things, all within a safe and successful environment, creating a positive association with new challenges, sights or sounds.
The guidance
Puppy Preschool isn’t just for your dog. In fact, you may find that you get just as much out of the experience. When it comes to setting up good habits and training foundations for your puppy, new owners can have no clue about where to start. During Puppy Preschool, experienced trainers are there to give advice, answer questions, and teach you how to start cultivating a well behaved puppy.
The encouragement
Puppies are hard work, and no one understands this more than other puppy owners. During Preschool, you will have the chance to commiserate, encourage, and share resources with other owners that are still working on potty training and nipping, just like you are. The puppies can play and learn, while you have some good conversations with others in the puppy community.
Puppy Preschool is well worth the money for both you and your new puppy. Get started learning as a new family sooner than later to see the best results, and enjoy your time together!
