Socialization


    Make sure your dog comes in contact with:
  • Adults of both sexes (this teaches the dog how to adapt to stress so he/she is friendly and safe toward visitors/strangers)
  • Children - which includes interacting and playing with them (this helps the dog to become secure and calm with children so it does not react aggressively to them)


  • Make sure your dog becomes accustomed to:
  • Different types of surfaces: soft, hard, rough etc.
  • Stairs, confined places (elevators), slippery floors and uneven surfaces. It is good to acquaint dogs with different types of surfaces so they feel safe wherever they are walking
  • Motors, vacuum cleaners, kitchen appliances, cars and city-noises and smells. This will get your dog used to its surroundings which will give him/her self-confidence
  • Visual appearances and moving objects such as sheets or balls
  • Interaction with other puppies. Go to puppy playgrounds or obedience training where they can play with other dogs around their age
