THE SCIENCE
You Have a 16-Week Clock
Science tells us that a puppy's primary socialization window closes by four months. What they learn—and who they meet—during this time stays with them forever.
We help you maximize this window safely, ensuring your puppy grows into a neutral, confident adult dog. This critical period is your opportunity to set the foundation for a lifetime of good behavior, confidence, and joy.
Socialization Window
8–16 weeks is the prime developmental period
