Puppy Socialization

Socializing your puppy is a VITAL part of raising a puppy.  It is 100000 times easier to help your puppy develop social skills now, than it is after that first year.  I completely disagree with the trainers and breeders who say that there is no hope for a dog who didn't get that socialization - there is always hope.  But it takes a lot of patience and time.  Its drastically easier to work with your puppy now, than to wait!

Karma is in her second puppy class, called "Wonder Pets".  We are working with her manners, especially not jumping excitedly on new friends, which is such a bad habit puppies try to develop, and needs stopped while they are small!

Karma's favorite part of class is playtime.  She is very outgoing and friendly, and loves playing.  Her puppy class is filled with several very respectful puppies, so its a great opportunity for her to develop proper play skills.

 3 out of 4 puppies in the class are Berners, lol!

 Karma & Milo (aka Koda's Orange pup!)

 Playtime!

Our favorite part is how happily worn out Karma is after class!

Our brother & sister in-law also have a puppy, who is a month older than Karma, which has been great for socializing!

Aren't they a cute pair?
