Dogs, like humans, also have the relationship between "dog society" and "dogs".
Many friends can hear that "socialization" training is a bit unfamiliar. "Socialization" refers to a process in which dogs will not be afraid of people, things and things in daily life. Simply put, this is to let the dog learn how to deal with "other people" and "other dogs".
Usually, the best training period for dogs to socialize is: from 3 weeks to 4 months old. This period is the best time for dogs to train for "socialization".
1. Generally speaking, after dogs have received basic vaccine injections (2 months later), they can gradually start social training. For example: Holding the puppy in your arms and watching pedestrians on the road and listening to the sounds of vehicles coming and going is a gradual training process. However, be careful not to go to places that are prone to diseases, such as hospitals, agricultural markets, etc.
2. Be with brothers and sisters more often. If possible, you can take care of your puppy with your siblings for a few more days after birth. A large number of experiments have proved that puppies who grew up with their mother and brothers for more than 3 weeks have a good ability to interact with other dogs when they grow up. On the contrary, puppies who have been alone or in cages are very likely to develop bad personalities such as shyness, timidity, and uncontrollable when they grow up.
3. Contact more people. Generally, after 2 months, the dog owner can try to arrange for the puppy to meet with some friends. Try to find people of different ages and personalities. Spend time with these people and play games with the puppies until the puppies can interact with them happily. This is the most basic and effective "socialized" training method. (If the puppy is shy and afraid to strangers during this process, the dog owner should not force himself and gradually adapt.)
4. Contact other dogs more frequently. After 3 months of the dog, the dog owner should also let his puppy play with other dogs gradually. But here are two points to pay attention to: 1. Be sure to complete the basic immunization injection; 2. Do not play with the big dog to avoid injury.
