Puppy Socialization and Training
As far as puppy socialization goes, 8 - 12 weeks old is the prime of your puppy's life! This is a developmental period when puppies learn what things are normal and not to be feared, and it's the ideal time to give them positive socialization experiences. Puppies that are not given positive exposures to a variety of people, places, animals, objects, and experiences they will encounter in everyday life, are more likely to develop anxiety, fear, reactivity, or aggression. If your puppy is already older than 12 weeks, don't despair! Learning still happens after 12 weeks, and the sooner you start training, the better results you will have!
