Puppy Imprinting Obstacle Work

Puppy imprinting in the dojo yesterday. Obstacle, surface, sound socialization...obedience prep...handling drills. Here you see young @maligator_delta_echo working through a body awareness/obstacle drill like a champ. The magic formula for any kind of socialization is to become a powerful and engaging presence in your puppy’s life - then, you can use that engagement to introduce puppies to new challenges and environments with neutral/positive outcomes. Socialization, at its core, is teaching a dog to ignore things while working with handlers...not randomly exposing them to chaos to sort out on their own...#runyourpack #workyourpack #puppyimprinting #malinois #maligator #yurtlife
