Treats

Socialization
As a dog’s proprietor, it is your responsibility to make sure that your dog has self-confidence, flexibility and the ability to deal with new situations. Socialization plays an important role in this process.
During the first few years of their lives, puppies need to be exposed various kinds of animals, people, and environments. Without exposure to these things they can be anxious and fearful.
They may even exhibit bad behaviours like aggression and fear of heights.
Socialization can ease these problems and make life easier for your dog.
For instance, if you find that your puppy is known to be rough with other dogs, giving them ample time to play with them will teach them to be more cautious with their bites.
Having your dog socialize with other pets, people and other animals can also curb their temper tantrums or separation anxiety when you leave for work. It is important to start small and work your way towards greater issues over time.
