Socialization
As a dog owner it is your responsibility to ensure that your pup has the ability to adapt, confidence and capability to deal with a variety of situations. In this process, socialization is crucial.
In the first few years, puppies have to be exposed to a variety of animals and people, as well as different environments. If they do not get these experiences they could become anxious and fearful.
Some may even develop negative behaviors, for example fear or aggression.
Socialization can ease these issues and make life easier for your dog.
If your puppy is constantly yelling at other dogs, then allowing them to play with them for long periods will teach them to control their bite.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people, and in different environments can also help to reduce the anxiety of separation, or temper tantrums, when you leave to go to work. It’s important to start small, and then progress to bigger challenges over the course of time.
