I did this with mine when he was teeny tiny and he really enjoyed it. Think it’s good as they run the groups by age & size so they’re not getting overwhelmed by older or bigger dogs. There was a pup who was really timid and he’d come out of his shell a bit by the end.Found out pets at home do puppy socialising and their classes only have 4 puppies. I’ve booked one for my pup but I did already book another. Hopefully the original place will allow me to change the date I go as I think my puppy needs to get more confidence first before going back there as there was too many dogs
That sounds so much better!Found out pets at home do puppy socialising and their classes only have 4 puppies. I’ve booked one for my pup but I did already book another.

100%!!! Socialisation can be done without these parties. Ive made so many mistakes in the past and ended up with an over vocal and excited dog around people / dogs.That sounds so much better!I hope there’ll eventually be a move away from the large “puppy party” set ups and an increase in more small groups like this! I think the large groups sometimes do more harm than good for the quiet pups

With subsequent dogs Ive made socialisation about experiences rather than people or dogs and its made such a difference. Introducing to the car from the very beginning frequently, taking in a dog sling to beaches, forests, woods, near main roads with buses/sirens/trucks. Not greeting every dog we meet and its night and day.
Its not to say they dont work out but I think they cause more harm than good in so many cases.
He did go to daycare this week for a day and did well. Went to his puppy training class today for the first session and he was much more confident with the dogs. I wouldn’t say he is quiet it’s more that he is much smaller. If he does well at the 4 class one I may take him sooner back to the bigger classThat sounds so much better!I hope there’ll eventually be a move away from the large “puppy party” set ups and an increase in more small groups like this!

He is a small cross breedThat’s so cuteWhat breed is he? My dog started a new walk with his walker this week and he’s the only male in the group. Apparently he was loving the attention from all the ladies!
Ahhhh I love little ones, I really want a Chi cross nextHe is a small cross breedonly 1.8kg at the moment 14 weeks. aww he’ll have a lot of girlfriends what breed is he?
I've never done this. We had foster pups form 5 weeks old and they got dry kibble from then.Hello all, could I ask what age your pups were when you stopped soaking kibble in water? Thank you
I’m honestly not sure what the guidance is, but my girl despised having the wet kibble so I think we stopped hers at about 8/9 weeks - she was fine!Hello all, could I ask what age your pups were when you stopped soaking kibble in water? Thank you
Best of luck with your new addition.Ah thank you, that's interesting. Picked my girl up on Wednesday with food from the breeder who has been soaking it in warm water and said may not need to do it much longer. Felt little one isn't eating as much as she should and put it down to new environment. Accidentally dropped dry kibble on kitchen floor today and she crunched it up with gusto, tail wagging
It can be ok but puppy farmers can also be on there.Is the pets at home site a good place to buy a puppy?
