Episode #224 From Social to Socially Savvy: Walking a Dog Who Reads the Room


Listen Later

Is your puppy a social butterfly who wants to greet every dog and human on walks—but not every encounter goes smoothly? In this episode, we dive into the reality of socializing your puppy around neighborhood dogs, especially when some dogs aren’t as friendly or welcoming. You’ll learn how to handle tricky walk-by situations, what to do when other dogs react poorly, and how to help your puppy develop calm, confident social skills. We’ll also share simple training exercises you can do at home to prepare your pup for successful outings. Socialization isn’t just about play—it’s about building a dog who’s socially savvy. Let’s talk about how to do it right.
