A well-socialized dog is the key to a healthy, happy and more well-behaved dog.
If you are able to start socializing at an early age this will help your puppy develop fewer behavioural issues and they will be less likely to display signs of aggression in stressful or exciting situations.
This will all-around also make dog-walking a more enjoyable experience. They will be less likely to show aggression towards other dogs or situations in social settings.
If a dog is not well socialized it can become reactive around other dogs and people because they are unfamiliar with social situations.
By socializing it can also lead to more positive experiences with strangers and visits to public places, the vet, etc.
By starting at a young age it will minimize adult behavioural issues and habits.
At Furry Friends we offer our Daycare program and “play and stay” when boarding. Both of these options are in a group setting depending on the comfort level of your dog and is very beneficial to your dogs socialization!
We get so much positive feedback from our clients who attend Daycare often on how much their pups enjoy it and are doing amazing in a social settings even outside of our resort. We also have plenty of rescues who join us who may start off uneasy or unsocialized who benefit and improve in a social setting with time.
Socialization is proven to improve the overall demeanour and health of your pup! 🥰
