Why Dog Training in Geelong Is So Important

Dogs are like children, they pick up different behaviours and habits from their surroundings and influences early in life, and these little nuances, which at the time can seem funny or cute, can develop into unwanted behaviours later on in life. The difference with dogs, however, is that because we are humans, we don’t always understand canine behaviour, and when those red flags show up they are not always obvious to us. That’s why it is vital to seek professional dog obedience training in Geelong as soon as you get your new pet.

The most critical period for training and socialisation is the first 4 months of a dog’s life. Puppies are most receptive to learning new behaviours when their brains are maturing, and they are curious about the world that surrounds them. Starting early is vital to set good habits from the start, and it is the easiest time to train them as everything you do is new, and fun. Read More

It’s much easier to shape positive behaviours when they’re young, compared to trying to correct habits later on. However, it is never too late to start dog training in Geelong, and here at Vets of Geelong we offer courses with fully qualified and experienced dog trainers to help guide you through the process. for every stage of your dog’s development. Puppy classes are a great way to get your new pet socialised in a controlled manner, and to pick up early any issues.
