Socialization
As a dog’s owner, it is your responsibility to ensure that your dog has confidence, flexibility, and ability to deal with any situation. Socialization is a crucial factor in this process.
In their early years, puppies need to be exposed to all kinds of people and animals, and also different environments. They may be scared or anxious when they aren’t exposed to these situations.
Some might even develop negative behaviors, such as fear or aggression.
The positive side is that socialization could help alleviate these problems and make life with your dog easier.
If your puppy is rough-mouthing other dogs, allowing them to play with them for a long period of time will teach them to stop biting.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people, and in different settings will aid in reducing stress and anxiety around separation, as well as temper tantrums, when you go to work. It’s important to start small and work your way up to larger challenges over time.
