4 Benefits of Socialization
Well-socialized dogs lead to good canine citizens! Here are 4 reasons why you should socialize your dog:
Ease transition into new situations
Dogs who haven’t socialized with others are often fearful of new situations and circumstances – like meeting new people or going places. Socializing your dog through activities like visiting the dog park, or doggie daycare, helps to ease anxiety.
Promote healthy dog lives
Dogs who spend time interacting, exercising, and playing with other dogs and people lead healthy and happy lives. The motto “a tired pup is a good pup” rings true – and is more easily achieved by social dogs. If a dog is worried or anxious about an encounter, they are spending less time having fun and burning energy and more time feeling stressed.
Help to develop confidence
By socializing your dog, they will develop new, good behaviors and will learn to be a well-rounded pup! Their confidence is sure to grow when each new interaction brings positive reinforcement and experiences. These new interactions and experiences can be anything from having a neighbor walk past the house, to crinkling a water bottle, to starting a lawn mower. Overtime, this will help make experiences like having parties or going to dog friendly restaurants much easier and less stressful!
