Fido Facts
Did you know that there is a critical period of socialization for your pup? That period is brief, between about 4 and 16 weeks of age.
Most puppy owners do not get any input during the first half of this important period in their pup's life, but they can influence the remaining period.
Proper socialization involving safe and positive exposure to people, places and things, will be one of the most important things you do with your pup.
At Canine Head Start we want to help your pup attain his/her highest potential. Ask us about our Day Training options, New Puppy Package sessions and Puppy Kindergarten group classes.
