If it doesn’t come with any other problems, socialization is an easy fix. You work with other humans, dogs, and different animals to prepare your pup for a big world. The best time to socialize a dog is when they’re between 10 and 16 weeks old, but we understand that not all families have that opportunity. For example, if your dog is a rescue, they could have been several years old before they ever got to your house.
Below are signs that your dog may need extra socialization:
- Fearful around people or other animals
- Nervous when out on walks
- Shy or overly excited around people or other dogs
- Aggressive towards other dogs
- Tail tucked between the legs
Socialization may be easy to fix with the right help, but it comes with problems that you don’t want to become a lifestyle. If you want to live a life (and if you want your dog to live a life) that’s full of adventure, joy, and peace of mind, we can help. Proper socialization will also remove opportunities for your dog to become fearful or aggressive. Call us today to get started!
