The goal of training is to teach your dog obedience. However, it’s also a golden opportunity for your dogs to meet other dogs, and learn specific ‘dog code’ practices. For example, how to play gently and how to communicate with each other. All of which has been missing due to lockdown, which is why it’s important that when it’s safe to do so, you slowly reintroduce this. If your dog isn’t socialised, it will make training them a lot more difficult.
