Beautiful Kiwi loves to play ball as a decompression activity. ❤️

During training, especially in contexts when dogs can get over aroused, it is important to allow for decompression breaks to help regulate their brain & nervous system between training trials. 🐕

We welcomed baby Reggie, the golden retriever, to Puppy Socials this week, and he had a blast keeping up with the "big girls", Juni & Aika!!

Puppy Socials run in a safe & controlled manner are a great way for small puppies to learn confidence around larger ones, as well as for larger puppies to learn to modify their behaviour appropriately when interacting with smaller puppies. This modified behaviour of playing down to another dog's level is called self-handicapping, and is a crucial play skill for puppies to learn.

Join us on Fridays from 5-6pm for more puppy fun!! 😍
