In this episode we are joined by Andy from Fluffy Paw's Doggie Daycare in Naas to discuss the topic of socialising dogs. Andy knows first-hand the importance of socialisation for both the dogs and their humans, as it makes their lives easier and helps them navigate social events and interactions. Andy is a big fan of an individualised approach to socialisation, taking into account each dog's energy, temperament, and experiences. Andy and Killian discuss the challenges of socialising dogs during different life phases, such as the teenage phase when hormones can affect behaviour. Check out this episode for tips and insights into all things socialisation.
