Why is Puppy Start Right Preschool so important?

  • ALL puppies need puppy socialization! Let us help you socialize your puppy safely!
  • The best time to start is when your sweet perfect puppy is still behaving perfectly!
  • There is NO advantage to waiting! The window of socialization begins to close at 12 weeks of age!
  • It is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT things you can do to ensure your puppy's future.
  • Socialization is not just about interacting with a bunch of people and puppies. Learn what it IS and what it ISN'T!
  • Positive exposure to many new things can protect your puppy against future behavioral issues.
  • Socialization is necessary for your puppy's ability to cope as an adult dog and, without it, can lead to lifelong deficits.
