Socializing a young puppy is probably the most important thing you can do. In 2020, I have seen a lot of Pandemic Puppies which were not properly socialized sue to COVID-19, and improper socialization during the puppies critical period of around 4-12 weeks old can result in a dog with lifelong fear and anxiety around new people and other dogs.
Here are the 6 ideas that I talk about in this podcast. These can also be utilized for puppies and dogs of any age.
- Take puppy for walks outside around people
- Take puppy for rides in car through drive through
- Take puppy for field trips to pet store
- Take puppy for field trips Home Depot or Lowe’s is visit
- Bring puppy to friends house
- Have friends come visit your house
These are just a few ideas to help socialize your puppy. If you find this information helpful, please leave a donation through our website https://www.puppytalkpodcast.com/
