I love puppies, you love puppies, everyone loves puppies đ! Thatâs why a tough day can be brightened just by watching puppies play together (thatâs why the entire team at the dog school are so happy all the time)!
However, even the cutest, most adorable puppy can grow up to become an adult dog withâŚâŚ.. âissuesâ.
So, how can you make sure this doesnât happen đ¤?
Well one big step in the right direction is by doing lots of safe and intentional early socialization. And when I say âearlyâ, I do mean âbefore all vaccinations are doneâ.
However, thereâs a fine line between socializing your puppy and accidentally making the world a little bit too exciting or scary!!
So, then this begs the question: âWhat IS proper socialization?â Where should you start? And how do you create balance while socializing your puppy?
We answer all these questions (and more!) in this week's episode of Dog Sense.
