Socialisation

This would be one of the most IMPORTANT and least UNDERSTOOD facets of raising a well adjusted dog there are.

Most people that come for to get help with a Behaviour Problem think they knew what to do when the dog was a pup.

Behaviour around other dogs

Most people successfully get their dogs to either go nuts when it sees another dogs because : –

1. It wants to play with them or 2. It is aggressive toward them.

Early Intervention

Some pups will have problems, that is a given. Some haven’t got the genetics, some have received next to no education with the breeder, some just have issues.

The earlier these are discovered the least impact they will have on an adult dog.

Life Skills

Often these are not the focus of those who want an Assistance or Service dog, but without Life Skills such as loose leash walking, place training, recalls etc the dog may not be able to function in area’s where there are other dogs or people etc.

This is a very important set of steps to get right if your dog is to be able to work anywhere.
