Socialization
As a dog’s owner, it is your responsibility to ensure that your pup has the confidence, adaptability, and ability to deal with a variety of situations. Socialization plays a critical role in this process.
In the initial few years of their life, puppies must be exposed to different kinds of animals, people, and different environments. If they don’t get exposure to these types of things they could become nervous and fearful.
Some may even develop negative behaviors, for example fear or aggression.
Socialization can help 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 will help them learn to stop biting.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people and in a variety of environments will also help to reduce anxiety about separation or temper tantrums, when you go to work. It’s important to start with a small amount of time and build towards greater issues over time.
