The best time to begin socializing your puppy is when he reaches one month old. From here through about four or five months old is the most advantageous time to teach your dog how to interact with the outside world, experience new places without fear or anxiety, and properly handle meeting new people, other dogs, and other types of animals. The obvious goal is to broaden your dog’s horizons and help him grow into a friendly, confident, and well-mannered adult. 

The team at Dog Walking South Jersey has extensive experience in this field, not just with puppies but with dogs of all ages. While it’s easiest to begin socializing dogs when they are young, it is still entirely possible to introduce adolescent and adult dogs to other people and pets without fear of bringing out anxiety or aggression in your pet. Of course, this requires proper training and preparation, and success depends on a vast number of factors. If your dog is in need of socialization, we can definitely help you both have the best experiences!
