Now that your puppy has settled into his new home and family, he/she needs to be introduced to as many different types of people as possible. Being unfamiliar with someone’s appearance or a new place can be intimidating for your puppy, so help them build the confidence they need to cope with in our world.
In addition to integrating your puppy into your home life, it is vitally important that your puppy learns how to be friendly and sociable with other people and animals they may meet, and not just other dogs. Socialization is an ongoing process that is not just confined to puppy classes, but starts as soon as you bring your puppy home and introduce them to your family and any pets you may already have. Puppies have to make a sudden transition from the familiar comfort and security of their first home with their mothers and littermates and face the unfamiliar sights and sounds of their new environment. Some puppies may be confident and others may be shy, but, whatever their nature, they are all highly inquisitive. By exposing your pup to lots of new situations and unfamiliar people of all ages, and to other animals, you can make sure they develops the confidence he will need to live in our human environment.
