The Care That Every Dog Deserves

What is puppy socialization, and why is it important?

Puppy socialization is the process of exposing puppies to a variety of people, places, sounds, and experiences in a positive way, in order to help them develop into confident, well-adjusted adult dogs. It is important because early socialization can help prevent behavior problems and increase the likelihood of a happy, healthy, and successful lifelong relationship between a dog and their owner.

How old should my puppy be before starting a socialization program?

Puppies should begin socialization as early as possible, ideally between 8 and 16 weeks of age. This is a critical period in a puppy’s development when they are most receptive to new experiences and learning.
