Puppy Prevention
Preventing behavior problems before they start through proper early development. The first year of a dog's life is the most important for behavioral development. What happens during puppyhood - especially the critical socialization period between 8-16 weeks - shapes your dog's personality and behavior for life. Prevention is always easier than rehabilitation. By focusing on proper socialization, positive training, and meeting your puppy's developmental needs, you can prevent most common behavior problems from ever developing.
