Socializing your canine with dogs, humans, and other animals is a great way to ensure a well-mannered and confident companion. The best time to socialize is between 10 and 16 weeks of age, but not all dogs get to experience socialization as a puppy. A lot of rescue pups enter their new homes without proper socialization, which can put a lot of stress on both them and their owners.
Signs Your Dog Needs Further Socialization:
- Fearful around people or other animals
- Nervous behavior during walks
- Shy or overly excited reactions around people or other dogs
- Aggression toward other dogs
- Tail tucked between legs
