Puppy Socialization - When, How And Why? - In2town.co.uk

Socialization, the process of introducing and familiarizing a dog to new experiences, is one of the most important things you can do as a dog owner. By making your puppy more familiar with common objects like passing trucks, bicycles, loud noises, or other animals, and small children, you are helping it to be able to easily deal with new situations and unexpected events later in life.  Remember, an adult dog’s temperament and behavior patterns are determined during puppyhood, so it is crucial to familiarize your pup with as many situations as possible while it is still young.
