SOCIALIZE YOUR DOG- DIY Dog training to play nice with other dogs - a tutorial by Cooking For Dogs
Socialize your Dog: It's so important to begin to socialize your dog as a small pup - preferably in the first 3 months of his life. You will have a well adjusted friendly confident dog who will be a wonderful companion to you and your family. If you want your dog to enjoy a social time with other dogs, start by introducing your pup to one dog at a time. Invite a friend on a walk with you. Once your dog is relaxed walking on a lead check out a designated dog exercise area or park preferably with a fenced area so your dog can run free off leash. Your dog can read your human body language too so make sure you are confident when you begin to socialize - he will take his cue from you. Puppies in their sensitive period (between 3 and 20 weeks) are generally accepting of new people, places and dogs, so teaching them to feel comfortable around them is relatively easy. Most puppy owners simply expose them to new things every day, feeding wonderful treats at the same time, to make each interaction a happy one. This way, the puppy is likely to retain those happy impressions even after the sensitive period of socialization ends, around 4-5 months. Continued exposure to new stimuli throughout the first year can keep the process rolling along smoothly. Everyone wants their dog to learn to be more sociable with others, whether canine or human. Nervous, anxious, fearful and poorly socialized dogs may need to go to a dog boot camp to unlearn bad behaviors. Dog body language: Scared: Dogs show how they are feeling using their mouths, ears and tails. Frightened dogs will put their tails between their legs. They flatten their ears against their heads and may even roll over onto their backs. This is a dog's way of showing that it does not want to fight. Alert: Growling, barking and howling are a dog's way of sending messages to other animals. Wolves howl and dogs growl to warn other animals to stay away. Barking is a dog's way of telling other members of its pack that something strange is happening, and to be alert and on guard. Tail Wagging: Young puppies start tail wagging when they are 4-6 weeks old, usually when feeding on milk. Older dogs often wag their tails when they are excited about seeing another friendly dog or a person that they know. Its a happy sign! Aggressive: An angry aggressive dog will bare its teeth in a menacing way while growling. If it can prick its ears they will be erect and pointed forward and its tail will be held out straight or arched up behind. This shows the enemy animal or person that the dog is alert and ready for action.
