Friendly Puppy Socialisation
THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY PUPPY SOCIALISATION
Welcoming a puppy into your home is a joyful experience, but it also comes with great responsibility. At Morton Dog House, we know that the early weeks of a puppy’s life are crucial for shaping their future behaviour and confidence. Our puppy socialisation services in Wotton-under-edge are designed to provide safe, enriching experiences that help your puppy grow into a well-adjusted, happy dog. From supervised play to exposure to new sights and sounds, we ensure every moment is a positive step towards a balanced future for your furry friend.
WHAT MAKES OUR PUPPY SOCIALISATION SERVICE UNIQUE?
​At Morton Dog House, we go beyond basic socialisation. Our approach includes supervised interactions with other friendly, vaccinated dogs, ensuring your puppy learns polite play and social skills. Our specialised sensory room introduces them to a variety of textures, sounds, and environments, helping them build resilience to everyday life. Through enrichment activities such as scent work and problem-solving games, we focus on enhancing their confidence and mental engagement. Rest is equally prioritised, teaching puppies the vital skill of settling down in a cosy, calm environment.​
WHAT SETS OUR PUPPY SOCIALISATION AND DAYCARE APART:
SAFE, SUPERVISED INTERACTIONS:
Crucially, your puppy's socialisation is always supervised by our fully qualified and experienced team. We ensure all play is appropriate, fair, and positive, stepping in before interactions become overwhelming or create negative associations. Your puppy learns how to interact politely with other friendly, vaccinated dogs.
EXPOSURE TO THE WORLD (WITHOUT THE RISK):
We introduce puppies to a vast array of sights, sounds, surfaces, and smells in a controlled and positive manner. This includes time in our specialised Sensory Room and all-weather indoor facility, where they can explore different textures and experience gentle noises, helping them become resilient to everyday life.
BUILDING CONFIDENCE:
Our enrichment activities encourage problem-solving and engagement, boosting their confidence. From scent work to basic training incorporated into their play, every day is a positive school day.
THE POWER OF REST:
Just as important as play is rest. We ensure puppies have dedicated time for cosy sleep and relaxation, teaching them how to settle down, which is a vital life skill.
BEYOND THE BASICS: CONFIDENCE FOR A LIFETIME
Our goal is to create a dog that is comfortable and confident in the world, whether they're encountering a person in a hat, walking past a loud vehicle, or meeting a gentle new dog.
I am so delighted to have found this day care for my dog Paddy. I believe he loves every minute there and comes home exhausted and happy. His behaviour has improved immensely. Thank you all very much, Ginny.

Absolutely amazing, took our little 14 week old Archie to his first ever day care session, the staff were lovely and helped slowly ease him in. We've also noticed an improvement in our dogs behaviour, he's calmer and deals better with socialisation. Now every time he sees the day care, he's pulling on the lead desperate to go in, he absolutely loves Morton day care. Would highly recommend.
