Puppy Socialization

Socialization is a hot button topic when raising a puppy – what’s too much? What’s not enough? What on earth is a fear period?!

 

Remember this simple phrase when socializing your puppy to the world, “Quality over Quantity”. Your puppy will be better for it. I promise.

Maybe, don't socialize your puppy?

Consider this: You take your puppy to the dog park where he meets 30 dogs and of those interactions, only two are positive. Your puppy is likely to leave the park with some big feelings about interacting with dogs.

 

Now consider this: your puppy meets five wonderfully appropriate dogs that you know and trust and your puppy leaves every interaction feeling positive.

Ensure that each new encounter is paired with something positive: tasty cookies when the puppy visits the vet clinic, a favourite chew toy when Great Aunt Muriel comes for a visit, or a novel treat when the kid with the giant backpack walks by.
