Nancy’s Training Tips:
Why Socialization Matters
Don’t be fooled by your happy-go-lucky puppy. All young puppies are universally friendly and most are so cute they are easy to forgive for jumping up, munching on your sleeves, and not paying attention. But around 4 months of age, your dog’s “socialization window” begins to close.
After that, if your puppy hasn’t been thoroughly socialized and trained, she may become wary of new things. New sounds, new places, and unfamiliar people, children, and dogs. So don’t wait! Get started right away.
