Puppy Socialisation Package

A puppies critical development period is from 6 to 16 weeks of age. Don 't miss out on this important learning phase in their life
WE'LL KICK START THE PROCESS
Finding the time to take your puppy out early in their life is hard but extremely important for their development. Our Puppy Socialisation Package gives you peace of mind that your pup doesn't miss out on important life skills. We do the hard work for you during the week for you to continue on the weekend. We will NOT expose your puppy to high dog traffic areas. The health of your puppy is as important to us as it is to you.

Vaccinations
“But what about parvo?”
My vet said I can’t take my puppy out until 2 weeks after their last vaccnination? How can I socialise my pup if they can’t go out?
Every puppy owner knows about parvo virus and what a horrible illness it is. But do you really know how it is contracted? Here are some quick facts about parvo:
it is contracted through an infected dog’s poo
parvo virus can live in the environment for up to 6 months
Ummm, what? The virus can live in the environment for 6 months? Let’s think about that more…. if you’ve just moved into a new home, do you know if there were dogs living there before? You could have the virus in your home!
You go for a walk after work and walk near a dog park, then walk into your home with your shoes on. You could have walked the virus into your home.
Scary thought isn’t it? So if it could come into the home that easily, and our vet tells us the NOT take our puppy out until the second shot at 16 weeks, shouldn’t that mean that ALL family members are locked in quaratine until your pup has had their booster?
Your pup gets their first vaccination at 6 weeks of age while with their breeder,the next shot is a booster. So they are already covered for parvo before they come to live with you.
Socialising your puppy to the world around them can start at 8 weeks of age in a safe and controlled way. There are numerous ways to get your pup out and about, without risking their health.
