Socialization
As a dog’s owner it is your responsibility to make sure that your dog has ability to adapt, confidence and the ability to deal with a variety of situations. Socialization plays a vital role in this process.
In the beginning of their lives, young puppies need to be exposed various kinds of people, animals, and environments. If they do not get these experiences they can be anxious and fearful.
They may even exhibit bad behaviors such as aggression and phobias.
The good news is that socialization can help alleviate these problems and make life with your pup easier.
