Socializing your puppy is the process of helping him to become a happy, confident and friendly adult dog. It means introducing him to as many new experiences, people, animals and situations as possible in a positive and non-threatening way. Well socialized dogs are less likely to develop behavior problems and are generally more adaptable in different situations.
Why Socialization is Important
Proper socialization between 3 and 14 weeks of age can influence your puppy’s behavior and temperament for life. Well-socialized puppies are less likely to develop aggression, fearfulness, and anxiety, and are more relaxed and friendly in different situations.
