What does it mean to “socialize” your dog?

Описание: Don’t make the same mistake I and many others once made. Properly socialized your puppy!

Socialization by definition means: the process of learning to behave in a way that is acceptable to society.

So by socialization we mean exposure! (We trainers and animal professionals really need to switch to this term)

Public events like this concert are my favorite for exposure training, they are full of people, kids, loud music, strollers, bikes, occasional dogs, and lots of smells. It is the perfect place for puppy or continues adult dog exposure. (Not the place for dog’s who are currently struggling with fear/anxiety, start slower and work your wash up to these kinds of events.)
