GET STARTED WITH YOUR DOG'S SOCIALIZATION!
Although it is important to start socializing your dog as young as possible, it's never too late to begin!
In this Pet Dog Solutions Program, you will learn all about positive puppy
socialization, and ongoing socialization for older dogs - the key to happily
living in a 'Human-Centric' world!
Did you know that one of the most important things you can do for your dog is to properly socialize him? Common reasons for owner relinquishment to shelters are behavior problems which can often be prevented by proper socialization and training.
When we talk about socializing pets,
it means helping them learn to be comfortable as a pet within human
society - a society that includes many different types of people,
environments, buildings, sights, noises, smells, animals, and other
dogs.
The information
provided in this easy-to-follow program will not only have a positive impact on
the lives of pet dog owners and their new canine family member but will also be
an invaluable resource for pet care providers and trainers, as well as for
shelters and breeders, who will all be involved in ensuring a positive
socialization experience for the puppies and dogs they interact with on a daily
basis!
