Does your puppy squirm at the sound of thunder or quiver at the sight of a stranger? If you've nodded in agreement, then this enlightening episode promises to transform your understanding of canine behavior. Today, we unravel the complexities of canine socialization and the significance of exposing puppies to a variety of scenarios during the decisive socialization period from three to 13 weeks of age. We're busting myths, replacing misconceptions with facts, and guiding you on why you should swap the term 'socialization' with 'exposure' to prevent future phobias, anxiety, and other issues in your dogs.
Our in-depth conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore the stark contrast in canine cultures between Germany and America. We also shine a light on counter conditioning and desensitization - two powerful techniques that can help your four-legged friends become more comfortable with triggers in their environment. If you're apprehensive about taking your fur baby out before they've received all their vaccinations, we've got you covered there too. Tune in to this episode, where we share essential insights and practical advice on managing your dog's socialization process effectively. Will Bangura M.S., CDBC, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, FFCP
