Socialization is a fine art.

Done well, socialization of a puppy or a new dog (whatever their age!) results in positive and informative experiences that build the dog’s understanding of the world.

Socialization checklists are everywhere! But when we follow a checklist instead of listening to what our specific dog needs, we can end up doing more harm than good.

 

Wherever we go with them, we want our puppies and new adoptees to:

·      Feel safe

·      Build confidence & skills

·      Be in the Think & Learn Zone

·      Have pleasant experiences

·      Stay connected to us


We want to avoid our dog practicing being:

·      Overly excited

·      Out of control

·      Overwhelmed or shut down

·      Scared or anxious

·      Disconnected from us

 

Each socialization outing can be successful when we use the individual dog’s temperament, sensory perception of the world, age, skills and experience to guide us. 


This webinar will be recorded, and you will have access to the recording for a year.
