What type of socialization and early development do you do at Teddy Doods?
We place a strong emphasis on the socialization and early development of our puppies to ensure they grow into well-adjusted and confident dogs. From the moment our puppies are born, they are exposed to a variety of sounds, sights, and experiences in a controlled environment. We introduce them to different textures, toys, and gentle handling to stimulate their senses and promote physical coordination. Around 5 days of age, we begin progressive basic human interaction, encouraging playtime with a variety of people, including children and adults. This helps them become accustomed to different human behaviors and interactions. In addition to human socialization, we also expose our puppies to other animals, including well-behaved adult dogs and farm animals, which teaches them essential canine communication skills and reduces future behavioral issues. We make use of enrichment activities, such as short excursions outside the home, to introduce them to everyday environments like parks and city sounds. This foundational exposure ensures they are adaptable and less fearful of new experiences. By the time our puppies are ready for their new homes, they are well-versed in basic commands and have had early crate training, making the transition smoother for both the puppies and their new families. Our comprehensive socialization and early development program reflects our commitment to raising healthy, happy, and well-adjusted dogs. For more detailed insights into our methods, feel free to reach out to us directly.
