Socialization
As a dog’s proprietor, it is your responsibility to ensure that your pup has the confidence, flexibility and the ability to deal with any new situation. Socialization plays a critical role in this process.
In the early years, puppies need to be exposed to a variety of animals and humans, as well as various environments. They may become anxious or fearful if they’re not exposed to these things.
They may even develop negative behavior, such as aggression or fear of heights.
The positive side is that socialization can ease these issues and make life with your dog more enjoyable.
If your puppy is causing trouble for other dogs, then allowing them to play with them for a long period of time will teach them to be more cautious when they bite.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people and in different environments will help reduce stress and anxiety around separation, as well as temper tantrums after you leave to work. It is important to start with a small amount of time and build towards greater challenges over time.
