| Description: |
Socialization is the process of training a dog to live in a social environment - one that includes people, other dogs, and other species of animals such as cats or horses. This work teaches you how to safely introduce your dog - whether a puppy or an older dog adopted from a shelter - to any new environment. |
| Synopsis: |
As author Kim Campbell Thornton begins this Simple Solutions guide, ? Dogs are known as man's best friend, but they don't come ready-made to take on this role." Socialization unlocks the key to the human-dog bond and explains how well-mannered, well-adjusted dogs are made (not born). A term used by canine behaviorists and trainers, socialization is a fancy five-syllable word for ? getting friendly," which doesn't come naturally to all dogs. This handy little book begins with a discussion of puppy life stages, showing how puppies developmentally mature and what their ever-changing needs are. New puppy buyers must be aware of the importance of the breeder's role in socializing a litter of puppies, a critical process of introducing each pup to people, other dogs, and common everyday noises, during its critical developmental stages. Puppies raised without socialization (typically in a commercial breeding establishment, sometimes called a puppy mill) have a decided disadvantage and may never develop into normal, well-adjusted dogs. The book gives the new dog owner advice about planning social outings for the puppy so that he has ? People to Meet, Places to Go," ever expanding his social graces and comfort level with strangers and the not-so-scary-after-all unknown. The author also provides excellent guidance on introducing a dog to a new baby as well as introducing an adopted dog into an established multipet household. |
