  • Understanding what positive socialisation looks like beyond simply meeting other dogs
  • Creating calm, controlled introductions to people, children, new sounds and different environments
  • Preventing jumping up by teaching positive alternative behaviours
  • Encouraging calm, respectful interactions with family members
