REPLAY: The Critical Window for Puppy Socialization
Puppy socialization is critical for a dog’s healthy development, but what happens if there is a highly contagious respiratory illness being passed around the dog community? Emily and Libby address this current situation by re-airing this episode so you can make a good decision by weighing the costs and benefits of puppy socialization, and how to have healthy play with other puppies amidst illness. Some topics discussed are:
The first 12 weeks of a puppy’s life are the "critical window" for socialization
What proper socialization is, and is not
Why exposure alone is not socialization
Practical ways to help puppies form positive associations with the world around them
What flooding is and why it’s problematic
The dilemma of too much vs. too little exposure
How rescues and shelters can work with adolescent dogs who missed socialization
This is a wonderful conversation for anyone working with puppies on a regular basis or new adopters.
