Puppy socialization doesn’t have to be elaborate! Sometimes it’s just going to your local Petsmart and letting your new fur-kid explore like Forest did in this video. We’ve got years to go before he’s ready for the Obedience and Rally rings, but in a lot of ways, this is the real start of his training as a competition dog.

About Forest: This kiddo turned 16 weeks old on the day we filmed this video. A Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Forest loves eating treats, destroying toys, and snuggling as often as he can, but there’s so much more for me to learn about his likes and dislikes and so much more for him to learn about the world. For now, we’re taking it one step at a time.
About Kayla: I began training dogs in 2008, starting with raising puppies to be future service dogs and fell in love with the human-canine connection. Over the last several years, I’m thankful to have had the chance to help train service dogs, therapy dogs, compete in Obedience and Rally, and introduce people to the dog sports I love.
Thank you for watching this video! It would mean a lot to me if you subscribed and joined Forest, Maya, and me on all of our future canine-related adventures.

Thank you very much for this video! It was incredibly helpful to actually see the timing of the reward to desired behaviors in such an open setting. I think the intro about managing expectations was also great advice!

He did so well! Curious, what did you do if he went for something on the floor that you didn’t want him to have? Possible examples like trash, plastic, candy (these are some of the things I have come across in pet stores) Did you redirect him? If so with his name or anything else? Thanks!

That's a great question! In circumstances like these with a puppy as young as he was at the time, I try to focus on managing the situation more than the pup themselves. So, for example, if I see trash in an aisle, I just skip that aisle and go down the next or turn around and go the other way. If I can get a puppy's attention beforehand, then I might lead them past it with a treat on their nose too. But, I didn't really give commands at this stage because he didn't know what the words meant at the time. Hope that answers that question!
