Puppy Enrichment and Socialization Program

Welcome to Social Sniffers-where the playful path to confidence begins

I offer personalized, one-on-one enrichment and socialization sessions for puppies in their most formative stage of development.

Each session is designed to gently expose your puppy to new sights, sounds, surfaces, and handling experiences—all in a safe and supportive environment.

Fear Free. Science-Backed
The methods I use are Fear Free® certified and backed by science.
They are based on the work of Dr. Marty Becker, DVM, and developed with input from hundreds of veterinary, behavior, and animal handling professionals.

This approach helps to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress, helping your puppy build emotional resilience and confidence with every visit.

Whether you're a new puppy owner, a breeder, or part of a rescue, I’m here to support you in giving your puppy the healthiest, happiest start in life.

My program is vital to the development of puppies ages 8-16 weeks to help them flourish through meaningful socialization and enriching activities. Individual sessions ensure your puppy receives one-on-one attentive care, specifically tailored to help build confidence, acquire essential skills,and thrive in a professional supervised setting. Outings or visits nurture positive interactions that are fear free based using high value food rewards to help build your puppies trust and confidence.

While the 8–16 week window is ideal for early socialization, I also offer continued enrichment and confidence-building sessions for older puppies who may need additional support, real-world exposure, or guided handling preparation.

When life gets busy and the balancing act of what a puppy needs to thrive and develop into a well rounded dog becomes overwhelming my program is built to support and help guide owners. Having a puppy on a schedule can help with daytime potty habits, crate comfort as well as frustrating but typical puppy behaviors. By enrolling your puppy in my program you will help ensure your puppy gets the best start possible.

If you work long days, have busy days ahead or just need support with your puppy please reach out. Less stress for your puppy is less stress for everyone.
