Did you know that socializing your dog is important to your dog’s upbringing and ability to interact with other dogs, animals and people? It is often suggested that you start socializing your dog at the puppy stage. You can do this by introducing him to new situations slowly. For instance, take him for walks in areas that he will pass other dogs or other animals. This will help him become accustomed to seeing other dogs and animals. If your dog barks at the other animals, ask him to heal, sit and wait for him to stop barking. When he stops start to walk again. If he barks then stop. Do this until he learns to walk without barking at the other dogs. Don’t be afraid to walk away or take your puppy to another location if he doesn’t behave. Training and socializing takes time. Make sure you talk to your veterinarian Carrollton, GA for help.
