Description
This class prepares Volunteer Handlers to help with socialization for the first 10-weeks of a puppies life! You’ll learn all about how to help young puppies explore the world in a safe, kind way during their first 10 weeks—when socialization matters most.
We’ll cover:
- What early socialization is (and isn’t)
- How to plan age-appropriate exposures
- How to introduce new sights, sounds, people, and gentle handling
- Spot stress vs. comfort in puppies
- Use positive reinforcement and support confidence-building.
You’ll leave with a clear plan to help each puppy feel safe, curious, and ready to learn!
You must be an approved Volunteer Handler (background/onboarding already completed) to participate. Interested in becoming a Volunteer Handler at the Dog Alliance, let us know!
