Home Puppy Training – What is Socialisation? eazydogtraining.com
Socialization is the process by which puppies learn how to live in our human world. It involves meeting and having pleasant encounters with different types of people, dogs, and other animals. It also involves becoming used to a wide range of situations, sounds, sights, smells and environments such as being washed, health checks, busy streets, and cafes, etc. Quite often people focus on playing with other dogs as their socialization but this is only a very small part of the actual socialization training needed – and not even the most important one if you ask me!
Between three and 12 weeks of age, a puppy needs to meet a wide variety of people, situations and other animals. This is crucial for their development.
