Dog Socialization
Classes
Socialization is crucial for a dog’s development, significantly impacting their anxiety levels, aggressive tendencies, and overall well-being. At Lasting Dog Training, we recognize this importance and offer socialization training to help your pup feel comfortable around different people, animals, and unfamiliar places.
We introduce socialization in a controlled and structured way. Once you and our trainers are confident in your dog’s obedience training, we gradually introduce them to group socialization classes and public settings. By prioritizing obedience first, we ensure your dog has a strong foundation of self-control and responsiveness, making the process smoother and more successful.

When to Socialize
Your Puppy
- Socialization for dogs should continue throughout their lifetime, but giving them a strong start early on is key.
Read More
- Socialization begins as early as three weeks of age when puppies start interacting with their littermates and exploring their surroundings. The “sensitive period of socialization” occurs between 3 to 14 weeks, when puppies are especially open to new experiences. Since most puppies go to their new homes around eight weeks old, this leaves a small but crucial window for foundational socialization training.
- You can start puppy socialization classes with Lasting Dog Training as soon as you bring your puppy home at eight weeks old! Our classes are puppy-safe and offer a fun, structured environment for your pup to meet new dogs and people while experiencing the world beyond your home.

Our Dog Socialization
Classes
Puppy and dog socialization isn't about learning commands — it’s about building positive experiences around new environments and stimuli. Socialization can be as simple as walking around the neighborhood, letting your dog explore at their own pace, and offering plenty of soft treats and praise. It may also involve meeting a friend’s well-behaved dog in a controlled setting and observing social cues in a safe, supportive environment.
