Socialization with dogs, humans, and other animals is a great way to ensure a well-mannered and confident dog. The best time to socialize is between 10-16 weeks of age, but not all dogs get to experience socialization as a puppy. A lot of rescue dogs enter their new homes without proper socialization, which can put stress on both the dog and the owner.
Signs 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
