The Biggest Mistake during Puppy Socialisation

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!

I have to admit, today reminded me why I do what I do. During our training session, as an energy healer, I sense something is wrong with my client. Her reply to my question "Are you ok?" was “What if I fail?” Not because her dog couldn’t do the exercise—but because she was afraid she’d get it wrong. And this is where all the workshops I’ve done, all the healing and personal development, all the learning about how the brain works... it all came to life. Because I could gently say to her: "Failing isn’t the end. It’s simply one way that didn’t work. So now, if we fail, we try differently. And if that doesn’t work? We try again, differently. And again. That’s how we learn." (Together as a team). This is the real heart of dog training. It’s not just about teaching your dog. It’s about teaching yourself that you are capable . It’s about building your confidence, not just your dog’s. You see, every training session is actually a mirror. Our dogs reflect back our weaknesses—they show us when we’re being impatient, rushing, shouting, demanding too much, or setting standards too high. They don’t respond to pressure, because pressure doesn’t create trust. And that’s where the magic happens: when we slow down, soften, and learn about ourselves. Training a dog is also learning how to be more grounded, more aware, more gentle—with them, and with ourselves. We were given this specific dog to help us heal, to help us grow, to teach us what we didn’t know we needed to learn. And that’s why I’m not just proud of my dog training skills— I’m proud of the healing and coaching I offer within every session. It’s something I’ve built through my own healing, through personal growth, and through working with hundreds of clients. Because every brain works differently, but we all need the same thing: compassion, understanding, and the space to grow at our own pace. So if you’ve been worried about “getting it wrong” with your dog… Take a breath. You’re not failing. You’re just learning. And I’m here to help you, every step of the way.
