Creating fearless puppies

Puppies are naturally curious and playful creatures. They explore the world around them with their senses, including their sense of hearing. However, some puppies can be more sensitive to sounds than others. This can lead to anxiety and fearfulness as they grow older. That's why it's important to start sound desensitisation early in a puppy's life.

What is sound desensitisation?

Sound desensitization is the process of gradually exposing a puppy to a variety of sounds in a safe and positive way. The goal is to help the puppy learn that these sounds are not something to be afraid of. This can be done by playing recordings of different sounds at a low volume, or by exposing the puppy to real-life sounds in a controlled environment.

Why is sound desensitisation important?

Sound desensitisation is important because it can help puppies develop into more resilient and less anxious adults. Puppies who are not properly desensitised to sounds may be more likely to develop fear-based behaviors, such as barking, hiding, or even aggression. This can make it difficult for them to enjoy life and can also lead to problems with their owners.
