We’ve got Big Jake's Dog Treats in-store!

It’s important to expose puppies to new experiences. When they are young, they aren’t fully vaccinated and shouldn’t be placed on the ground in places where other dogs visit as they could pick up diseases. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t and shouldn’t provide enrichment. Before 16 weeks, dogs must be exposed to all sorts of situations and people in a safe way. One way to do this is to take them to dog-friendly stores while carrying them and giving them lots of treats and praise as they take in all the sights, sounds, and smells of the new place. Here, our Executive Director Dr. Jennifer Cattet works with puppy Milo in a new setting. Anytime Milo would look at a person or dog, Jennifer would give the marker word “yes” followed by a treat to help create positive associations in the pup’s brain. Milo did a great job on his first outing to a store! 02/03/2023
