Socialization
As a dog’s proprietor, it’s your responsibility to ensure that your dog is calm and well-adjusted. They should also be able to handle new situations. Socialization plays a critical role in this process.
In the first few years, puppies must be exposed to different types of animals and humans, as well as different environments. They can be scared or anxious if they are not exposed to these kinds of situations.
They could even develop undesirable behaviours like aggression and fears.
Socialization can help ease these issues and make life easier for your dog.
If your puppy is constantly yelling at other dogs, then the act of letting them play with them for a prolonged period will teach them to control their bite.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people, and in a variety of environments will help reduce the anxiety of separation, or temper tantrums, when you leave to go to work. It’s important to start with a small amount of time and build up to bigger challenges over time.
