Socializing Your Dog

Part of training your Puppy/Dog is Socialization. Socialization of your dog is a must if you want a happy and well-adjusted dog. Socialization requires dedication, timing and patience based on the dog’s age and threshold of adaptivity to various levels of stress.

 A well socialized dog will be the welcome well behaved family member you can take with you everywhere!!

 Below you will find a list that includes the majority but, not all the things a Puppy/Dog should be exposed to repeatedly to readily accept anything new that comes along. Good Behavior Dog Training emphasizes Exposing your Puppy/Dog to the items on this list and whatever else you can think of (training is only limited by imagination), along with obedience training as this will ensure that your dog will live a happy and stress free life. Dogs that are exposed to these items early and often in a positive way excel in training and adapt quickly in new situations.
