Explorer Puppy
These missions are aimed at all puppies aged 6 months and younger .
These missions are based on the puppy's socialization period of 3 to 16 weeks. Socialization is the process by which the puppy learns to interact with its environment, including different species, objects, and various situations. It begins in the first few weeks of life. Socialization presented in a positive way is essential to help the puppy become balanced, confident, and comfortable in different situations throughout its life.
These missions must be progressive, adapted to the puppy's pace and always associated with positive experiences! The missions are based on emotion management and positive training.
Our goal: We want to encourage puppy adopters to maximize their time on good socialization practices so they can live in harmony with well-adjusted puppies and future adult dogs. Proper socialization reduces the risk of fear, aggression, and stress in adulthood and develops emotional stability as well as the ability to observe without overreacting.

Earning the title requires the complete fulfillment of all missions within each theme. These themes can be adapted to suit the breed, temperament, and specific needs of the puppies. Be sure to respect their pace and associate each experience with positive reinforcement! Click on Mission Orders for full details.
