Dog socialization is one of the most overlooked principals in training your dog successfully. Lack of dog socialization ties into dog obedience and dog aggression problems more than most dog owners know. Seeing this many times, a dog owner underestimates the power of dog socialization - especially as puppies. The younger - the better. Taking your dog to your local dog park of beach or even on a walk means a great deal to the way your dog’s mental attitude is formed. Trying to skip this, step usually results in a lack of balance in your dog’s human/dog or dog/dog relationships.
In simple terms - take you dog to the dog park or play area weekly. Let them play with dogs without you trying to control every movement. Dogs need to establish a doggie relationships on their own terms - not human terms. The dog realm and human realm are very different standards. Yes, be mindful of your dogs actions and safety but this doesn’t mean hindering your dog’s ability to create standing relationships with other dogs. Obviously if a dog seems aggressive then take the necessary precautions of safety first socialization second.
In my experience, a visit to the dog park or dog play area can work wonders for you dog’s relationships with other dogs and humans as well. I usually pop in anywhere from 1-3 times per week for a little playmate time and of course exercise. Keeping to a similar schedule, will benefit your dog’s disposition greatly. Good luck!
