Eazy dog training fixed my dogs aggression toward other dogs. Now I can take him for walks without anxiety that he will pick a fight with the ‘wrong dog’

Fabulous training in a safe homely environment. Very well researched and easy to manage techniques that work in a positive way with excellent results for our two reactive hounds. We can now walk safely without being scared that our dogs will do something silly.

Have done both puppy school and reliable recall training with my cocker spaniel and about to start the obedience course. Anniina is so knowledgeable and explains everything thoroughly so you understand the theory behind the training. The sessions are easy and fun, with immediate results. You leave feeling confident and equipped with the right way to continue the training for results. I've been pleasantly surprised at how quickly my dog's recall has improved with just subtle changes that I've made based on Anniina's training. Highly recommend Eazy Dog Training. Thank you Anniina!

We have done the Teenage dog class and loved Anniina’s demeanour so much we are going back for her obedience course. Anniina just has a way with dogs, and teaches in ways that are so easy to understand. She is professional and personable and you can tell she really loves (and is so good at) what she does. We will use Eazy dog training for all of our dog training needs!

Eazy Training classes for re-active dogs has been amazing for our 9 month miniature schnauzer puppy. We have learnt so much and made great progress, we were beginning to think it would never be possible. Most importantly we feel more confident and relaxed on walks. We will keep it up, thank you Anniina!

Why Early Socialisation Matters More Than You Think

8-12 Weeks Is the Best Possible Time for Puppy School

A puppy’s most critical developmental window closes around 12 weeks of age. During this short but powerful stage, puppies are naturally more open to learning, adapting, and forming positive associations with the world around them.

If your goal is to raise a confident, well-adjusted, and social adult dog — this is the time to act. Ideally, you should enrol in puppy school before 12 weeks, but the socialisation period continues up until 16 weeks, so if your pup is a little older, it’s not too late.

 

The Myth of “Wait Until Fully Vaccinated”

Unfortunately, many well-meaning breeders and even some vets still advise waiting until a puppy is fully vaccinated (typically around 16 weeks) before going outside or socialising. Following this outdated advice can mean missing the entire critical socialisation period — and the consequences can be serious.

As trainers, we regularly see puppies who have been over-protected in their early months. They often grow into dogs who struggle with:

  • Anxiety or fear in new environments

  • Nervousness around people or dogs

  • Timid or antisocial behaviours

  • Reactivity or aggression stemming from fear

These behaviours aren’t the result of bad dogs — they’re the result of missed experiences during their most formative weeks.

 

What Science Tells Us

Research into canine behaviour shows that puppies go through a sensitive socialisation period that lasts until around 16 weeks. During this time, they are forming core beliefs about what is safe, normal, and acceptable.

If a puppy isn’t gently and positively exposed to a variety of people, dogs, sounds, environments, and everyday experiences in that window, they are far more likely to struggle later in life.

 

The Bottom Line

Safe, well-managed socialisation during the first 4 months of life is essential. It’s not just about meeting dogs — it’s about learning to feel comfortable and secure in the world.

This is exactly what our puppy school is designed to provide: a structured, safe, and positive environment where your puppy can build the foundation for a lifetime of confidence.

📅 Book your spot early — your future dog will thank you for it.

Why Positive Early Learning Is Key to Raising a Confident Dog

 Every puppy needs a strong foundation in learning to grow into a confident, well-adjusted adult dog — and that foundation begins with positive socialisation. But socialisation doesn’t just mean letting puppies play with other dogs. While play is a part of the process, it’s only a small piece of the puzzle.

True socialisation means carefully and positively introducing your puppy to the everyday environments, people, animals, sounds, and situations they’ll encounter throughout their life. It’s about helping them feel safe and relaxed in a wide variety of settings — from loud traffic to vet visits, strangers to slippery floors.

 

Every Experience Shapes Your Puppy

Did you know that every experience your puppy has is stored in their memory and influences their behaviour and personality?

This isn’t opinion — it’s a scientifically proven fact.

Your puppy’s temperament is shaped far more by their early experiences and environment than by genetics alone. Even the most confident puppy at 8 weeks old can develop fear or anxiety if they don’t have enough positive exposure during the critical learning stages.

 

Early Positive Exposure Builds Lifelong Confidence

The more positive and varied experiences your puppy has — especially in those first few months — the more resilient and adaptable they’ll become as adults.

Socialisation should always be:

  • Gradual

  • Positive

  • Age-appropriate

  • Focused on building trust and comfort

That’s what we focus on in our puppy classes: building skills, confidence, and positive associations that last a lifetime.

 

Puppies Are Learning — All. The. Time.

Whether you’re training or not, puppies are constantly learning from the world around them. Every interaction, every outing, every noise and novelty is teaching your pup something — the key is to help ensure what they learn is positive and confidence-building.

Let us help guide you through this essential stage. Positive early learning isn’t just helpful — it’s life-changing.

Puppy training is the process of teaching your puppy essential skills and good behaviour from an early age. It focuses on basic commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners, as well as socialisation, impulse control, and problem-solving. Puppy training helps your dog develop good habits, builds a strong bond between you and your dog, and sets the foundation for a well-behaved dog in adulthood. It also addresses important skills for dealing with distractions, meeting new people or animals, and managing fear or anxiety in different environments.

Any time from 8 weeks to 16 weeks of age, after their first vaccination at 6 weeks of age. Puppy schools are never run in public parks, only in private and safe spaces with no increased health risks from un-known dogs.

As early as possible from 8 weeks of age. The best time to join puppy school is typically between 8 to 16 weeks of age. This is when puppies are most receptive to learning and socialising, and their critical developmental period for socialisation occurs. Early training helps set a strong foundation for good behaviour, builds confidence, and reduces the risk of behavioural issues in the future. However, even if your puppy is older, it’s never too late to start training and socialising them! Our teen classes are great for older puppies!

Yes, in fact the most important socialisation period for dogs is 8-12 weeks of age, this is ideal for puppy school as well. Studies show no increased health risks in puppy schools and plenty of benefits. Puppy schools should always be run in private locations, not in public outdoors spaces. All our locations are safe and cleaned with F10 which vets use as well.
