Socialization
As a dog’s owner, it is your responsibility to make sure that your dog is calm and well-adjusted. They should also be able to cope with new situations. Socialization plays a critical role in this process.
In their early years, puppies must be exposed to a variety of animals and people, as well as various environments. They may be scared or anxious if they’re not exposed to these types of things.
They may even develop negative behaviors like aggression and phobias.
Socialization can help to alleviate these problems and make life easier for your dog.
For example, if your puppy has rough mouthing with other dogs, providing them ample time to play with them will teach them to be more cautious with their bites.
Allowing your dog to interact with other pets, people, and different environments can also curb their separation anxiety or temper tantrums when you leave for work. It’s important to begin with a small amount and gradually move up to bigger challenges over the course of time.
