Pawsitively Sociable is your go-to guide for raising a dog who can handle the world with calm and confidence. Written by Renee Patience of Paws Academy, a trainer and behaviourist with over 30 years of experience, this book takes the overwhelm out of socialisation and gives you practical, real-life tools you can actually use.
Socialisation isn’t just for puppies and it’s not about exposing your dog to everything all at once. It’s about understanding what your dog needs, reading their body language and building trust through positive, consistent experiences. Whether you’re just starting out or helping a dog who has missed early social opportunities, Pawsitively Sociable shows you how to meet them where they are and help them move forward at their own pace.
This book is part of the Pawsitive Series, designed for dog owners who want kind, straightforward advice rooted in real experience. You won’t find harsh methods or unrealistic expectations here. Just clear, supportive guidance that helps you build a better life with your dog, one step at a time.
