Showing & Training Puppies to the world of PUPPY

The socialization process should include each and every one of these aspects.

Human Beings

There are not two equal people, but the puppy should learn to recognize all human beings as equal, no matter how different its masters are. Try to show the puppy as many different people, with different clothes, as you can: people with glasses, hats, sticks, helmets, crutches, umbrellas, etc., let the puppy be in contact with people of different races and genders and as it won't immediately recognize children as people, let the puppy also see children of both genders and all ages, including teenagers. It is interesting that these encounters may happen in different environments. remote dog training collars

Other Dogs

A puppy can feel as scared in front of an unknown dog as it can be in front of any human being, so you will have to expose it to the presence of other dogs in different places: the park, the street, the entrance of a store, at home and on the bus or train. Make sure to let the puppy see adult dogs on a great variety of breeds, colors and coats as soon as you can.

Other Pets and Animals

It is not probable for a city dog to find a chicken during a daily walk, but anyway, it is very important for the puppy to see other animals, either if it is in a school-farm, at the zoo, the countryside, during an excursion, etc.

One can never know what will happen in the future. Who knows, maybe your puppy may end up living in a farm or in a rural area. Let your puppy see horses, cats, ducks, chickens, cows and sheep and it will be ready for everything.

The Trips

It is possible for the puppy to spend a very little part of its infancy in a car or a train, but, as we don't  know what the puppy will have to face as a grown dog, we must let it get used to every means of transportation, public and private. Get your puppy used to travel by car very soon (and always properly held). Take it on buses, trains, the subway or ships while it is still young and can happily assimilate the experience.

Places And Objects

We visit very different environments everyday, full of strange objects and people with the most diverse attitudes. Your puppy needs to be get used to all of this little by little: the shops, the shopping carts, the baby carriages, the wheelchairs and so on; the movement and sound of the trucks and tractors;  open places like the park, big open land, a crowded pedestrian street and also closed places; visit houses and gardens different from the one of its owner and understand that one is also a house and the same rules that are applied at home are applied there and also very transited places as a street with a lot of traffic.

The Own Home

The puppy should also get used to the different appliances we use at home such as the washing machine, dish washer, vacuum cleaner, phone, hair dryer or grass mower and their characteristic movements and noises. If you cook, you should expose the puppy to the noises of the mixer or the squeezer as soon as possible. Take a walk around the house and try to imagine what machines or objects would scare you if you were a little inexperienced puppy.

Family Life

People usually laugh, yell, argue and even drink a little more than recommended when they get together. You should make sure that the puppy faces all these attitudes when it is young. The same thing can be said about the daily drudgery: someone arriving or leaving, doorbell, someone who has forgotten something and suddenly comes back to pick it up, etc., not to mention the door slamming.

Sometimes we cross sights with a dog and then we find that expression that seems to invite us to the friendliness and fraternity.
