Socialization Training For Dogs
Help Your Dog Feel Comfortable in Social Settings
A properly socialized dog is one that can interact appropriately with other people, other dogs, and unique environments. Socialization is critical to a dog’s development, as it helps cut down on undesirable behaviors like fear, aggression, and anxiety. Dogs that are not properly socialized my react inappropriately to new stimuli, such as by barking excessively, lungeing, growling, or exhibiting fear.
Sit Means Sit’s training programs work to teach dogs how to behave appropriately in different social settings, allowing them more adaptability and greater levels of comfort. While socialization is a critical part of a young dog’s development, it can also be addressed in adult dogs.
