Crate training and dog socialization
A dog will teach you unconditional love
Mallory Brooke
This week house training information and dog to dog socialization was covered. Simba is fully house/crate trained already…but I learned how important crates are for dogs: The Crate
– A crate keeps dog safe while you are away from home.
– It is a powerful aid to bathroom training dog.
– It provides dog with a place he can call his own and feel safe.
– It safeguards your home from dog destruction.
– Most dogs will need to be in a crate at some point in their lives (at the kennel, vet, groomer, when driving or flying), so if your dog is already accustomed to being in a crate, this will reduce stress.
Dog goes in crate when:
– Owner is sleeping
– Owner needs a break
– Dog needs a break
– Dog is tired
Dog to dog socialization
Dogs need to be able to interact with their own kind. Puppies learn they would rather play than fight, bite inhibition is reinforced, and adolescent de-socialization is prevented. Don’t expect your dog to always get along with others. Just like people, some dogs get along better with some, and not well with others. Continue to socialize your dog with others throughout its lifetime.
– Three seconds is the maximum amount of time the initial greeting should last.
– If one dog is positioning his head over the top of the other dog’s head, walk away.
– Tails tell a tale. If tails are stiff, tucked or only the tip is wagging like a rattle snake, this is a sign that you either need to disengage before the three seconds are up or really watch closely for those initial three seconds.
– Socializing with dogs and people helps to keep them balanced and fulfilled.
A dog is the only thing on Earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
