About Our Socialization Dog Training

Socialization with dogs, humans, and other animals is a great way to ensure a well-mannered and confident dog. The best time to socialize is between 10-16 weeks of age, but not all dogs get to experience socialization as a puppy. A lot of rescue dogs enter their new homes without proper socialization, which can put stress on both the dog and the owner.

Below are signs that your dog may need extra socialization:

  • Fearful around people or other animals
  • Nervous when out on walks
  • Shy or overly excited around people or other dogs
  • Aggressive towards other dogs
  • Tail tucked between the legs

A dog with improper socialization runs the risk of becoming fearful or aggressive. Contact us today to see how we can help!

After our pushy lab puppy, Bailey, was turned away by other groomers for a nail trim, we reached out to Chelsea for help. Chelsea knows her business! She trained us one-on-one to trim Bailey’s nails. She was patient but firm to reverse the bad behavior Bailey had picked up. She explained the correct technique for trimming and using the nail grinder, and coached us through doing it ourselves. Now we’re able to stay on top of Bailey’s nails regularly, on our own. Working with Chelsea – highly recommended!
