One of the most important activities you can do with your dog, and one you should do, is to socialise him/her.
That means taking him out everyday so he can explore new smells, new areas, new people, new dogs and other animals.
Well socialised dogs tend to be more friendly and less fearful of new things, therefore making your dog confident and comfortable with all kinds of experiences.
A great place to take your dog as part of your routine is the dog park. Educate yourself so that when you are observing his behaviour you understand exactly what is going on in his world. As well as getting used to, and accepting of other dogs, he will also get used to different people. This is very important as the only experience your dog should have when people come to your home should be pleasant.
Socialising your dog is easy and fun, and is something that must continue throughout your dog's life. If you do not socialise your dog he may become fearful and could easily develop two of the most serious and hard to fix problems, biting and fighting.
Jensen goes to the dog park every afternoon and as you can see from the video he has a lot of friends. This is the highlight of his day. 🐕 ENJOY. 😄
