Socialization
As a dog owner, it’s your responsibility to ensure that your pup is confident and well-adjusted. They should also be able to cope with new situations. Socialization plays an important role in this process.
In the first few years, puppies need to be exposed to all kinds of animals and humans, and also different environments. If they don’t get exposure to these types of things they may become nervous and fearful.
They might even develop bad behaviors like aggression and fears.
The good news is that socialization can alleviate these problems and make life with your pup more enjoyable.
If your puppy is causing trouble for other dogs, then allowing them to play with them for long periods will teach them to bite inhibition.
Having your dog socialize with other pets, people and in different environments can help to reduce separation anxiety or temper tantrums when you leave for work. It’s also important to start small, and then progress to more challenging tasks over time.
