Regardless of your dog's age, socialisation helps them navigate the world without fear and bad behaviour. It is always best to start at an early age, though you can still socialise adult dogs too!

Especially if you’re a new dog owner who’s just starting to get the hang of things. Meanwhile, even long-time dog owners can still find it challenging, especially if they’re not doing it right....

Every dog requires regular exercise, regardless of size, breed, or age. It keeps them physically healthy, and a tired dog is more well-behaved, calm, and understanding. As a dog parent, you want to give them the best possible lifestyle. But you can’t deny that juggling both work and being a fur parent takes great effort and sometimes you forget how important it is to schedule exercise and training sessions to get your dog moving.
