They follow a long list of objects, places, and transport methods for socialization… but half of those things they’ll NEVER actually use in their real life! Here’s the truth If it’s not part of your lifestyle, your puppy will forget it by the time they grow up. A dog’s brain is like a muscle —if you don’t practice, it disappears. Instead of trying to socialize your puppy to everything, focus on what truly matters in your life: If you go to the pub on Sundays, socialize your pub there. If you grab a coffee every weekend, bring your puppy along. If you travel by train often, make sure your puppy gets used to it. Love car trips? That’s where your puppy needs exposure to the car. And here’s another HUGE mistake—if your puppy is anxious or stressed about something, the solution is NOT to keep exposing them to it over and over again. More exposure doesn’t fix fear! Healing does. Emotion Code removes trapped emotions from the subconscious so the socialisation is quicker and calmer. Forget the checklist—socialize your puppy for the life you actually live, and always put their well-being first. Create YOUR own Checklist!
