Socialization Rules

Go At Your Puppy’s Pace

Work with a dog trainer to learn what’s right for your particular puppy.

Socialize You Puppy Individually

Puppies that go everywhere with older, wiser canine housemates don’t develop the ability to handle things well on their own.

Learn To “Read” Your Puppy

Practice reading your puppy’s body language, especially signs of stress. It’s easier than you think and will help you a great deal.

Use Every Opportunity

Always bring treats and a toy with you so you can create positive associations with new experiences by linking them with food or play.

Be Safe & Sensible

Give your puppy the best possible learning experiences while protecting him from harm.
