​We love sharing information – sometimes it’s small tidbits and other times its big juicy chunks of info, and every now and again it might be something as simple as a meme to make your smile. We hope you enjoy our blog – which is mostly dog focused but can occasionally be distracted.​

Socialization.

Socialization is such an important part of our dogs development and it’s very important to begin this from an early age. Socialization is vital with not only humans but other species as well outside the immediate environment.
Puppy classes can be a great start for this, it’s also important to introduce them to different people, sounds, places and also allowing them to be on their own. Introducing our pups to different dogs, people and situations helps to create a stable and confident mind. This can help to prevent your dog from developing behavior problems such as separation anxiety or dog aggression later on in life. These issues can later arise due to lack of exposure to different situations that may lead to low self confidence or the inability to deal with something out of the ordinary.
In order to expose your dogs to new situations and environments you, as the owner, must be confident yourself. By showing your dog that you are confident and calm in the situation they see that it is fine for them to do so as well – this is so important when developing your dog’s behavior and ability to cope in new environments. You want this experience to be positive for everyone, especially your dog. If he seems anxious or scared it is a must that you stay calm and show there is nothing to be afraid of. Regardless of how your dog initially reacts, it is important to try your best not to remove them from the situation, unless of course it is dangerous. If you are feeling unsure or anxious it’s best not to take your dog into that situation until you are completely confident yourself. Our dogs rely on us greatly to show them how to behave and our energy is a very strong way to let them know you have the situation under control. It is essential to ensure your dog experiences different situations frequently, especially if the first time wasn’t a success. It is necessary to repeat the exercise in a positive manner. If you your dog isn’t well socialized and are not confident enough within yourself to begin exposing them to different situations a dog trainer or animal behaviorist is always an option. It is very important to socialize your dog as a dog that is not confident is more likely to become aggressive if they do not know how to correctly deal with the situation and this can lead to a lot more serious issues.
