Corpus Christi Dog Socialization Classes

Socialization is crucial for a dog’s development, significantly impacting their anxiety levels, aggressive tendencies, and overall well-being. At Dog Training Elite, we recognize this importance and offer socialization training to help your pup feel comfortable around different people, animals, and unfamiliar places.

We introduce socialization in a controlled and structured way. Once you and our trainers are confident in your dog’s obedience training, we gradually introduce them to our Corpus Christi dog socialization classes and public settings. By prioritizing obedience first, we ensure your dog has a strong foundation of self-control and responsiveness, making the process smoother and more successful.

At Dog Training Elite, we are committed to minimizing stress for both you and your dog. We use proven techniques and involve you from the very beginning. Whether you’re out for a walk, visiting a friend, or navigating a busy public space, you’ll have confidence in your abilities and your dog’s behavior.

When to Socialize Your Puppy

Read More
Read Less

Socialization for dogs should be happening throughout their lifetime. Still, getting a good start as early as possible is always best.

Socialization for puppies starts at just three weeks old as they begin to engage with their littermates and the world around them. The “sensitive period of socialization,” when puppies are primed and ready to try new things, is from 3-14 weeks of age. Because puppies can go to new homes at around eight weeks old, you only have a small window to get that necessary socialization training done.

You can start Corpus Christi dog socialization classes with DTE as soon as you bring your puppy home at eight weeks old! Our classes are puppy safe and provide an excellent opportunity for your puppy to meet new dogs and people while having new experiences outside your home.

What Do Our Corpus Christi Dog Socialization Classes Look Like?

Read More
Read Less

Puppy and dog socialization is not about teaching new commands or obedience but creating a positive experience around new stimuli. Socialization can look like taking them around your neighborhood, letting them hear and smell things at their own pace, and offering plenty of soft treats. It can also look like introducing them to a friend's healthy dog in a safe place and allowing them to greet the dog and learn about social cues and behavior from them, all while offering treats and praise.

Our socialization classes teach your puppy or dog that even if something is new, it can be safe and fun to explore! We create opportunities for your pet to safely meet new dogs, smell new things, hear new sounds, walk on different surfaces, and meet new friendly people.

Socialization is all about removing fear and entering new situations with curiosity.

    Grayson was great! He is knowledgeable and friendly and my dog, Scout, loved him! He takes time to demonstrate each new command and gives feedback on my attempts. My dog and I both look forward to each lesson with Grayson and I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a trainer!

    We recently added a second Belgian Malinois to our family, and just like the first one, she’s super energetic and requires a ton of attention. We’ve used other trainers in the area before, and while they were all good, none have matched the quality of Dog Training Elite. We opted for the platinum package along with the service training, and we couldn’t be happier with our trainer, Grayson. They’ve exceeded our expectations, and the group classes they provide for socialization have been incredibly helpful in addressing the aggression issues we faced. Today, we took our puppy to a store for the first time, and she walked right beside me without a leash, completely unfazed by distractions. She followed all the commands perfectly and did an outstanding job.

    DTE was great. I contacted them and they wrte able to come out very quick for the initial evaluation. Grayson was the trainer that came out and was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable and I feel would be a great asset in the training for me and my little boy Hook. I look forward to the future.

    LWe had our first meeting with Jessica to learn more about the different training programs servuce dog certification and pricing. She was SUPER friendly and had an answer to every single question we had. We were concerned about payment flexibility and she informed us they do different payment plans and options. We were able to figure out a plan that fits our financial capabilities! We can't wait to start our journey and begin working with the Dog Training Elite Coastal Bend team!! They also offer a military discount which is super awesome!! EDIT: First meeting and training session with Grayson, super professional and helpful with our concerns and teaching us the commands to get our dog Daisy to stop things that are not acceptable and how to use the e collar. We are so excited for our next training session and to continue our journey with this amazing company!!
