Dog puppies, how (and when) to socialize them?
Some tips to understand how much the socialization of puppies is an aspect that is worth studying carefully.
From 3 to 8 weeks dogs learn better to interact with other dogs (primary intraspecific socialization). From 5-8 up to 12 weeks dogs learn better to interact with people and other animal species (secondary interspecific socialization). But it is from 5-12 up to 16 weeks that dogs explore new environments in a formidable way.
So, other dogs (of all sizes!) they should be known from 3/5 weeks of life. The meeting is essential to allow furry young people to deal with many social elements and therefore learn to interact in the right way with their own kindof every race and size they are.
Why it is useful to bring together a dachshund puppy and a Saint Bernard
It can be difficult for a dachshund to understand the messages sent by a St. Bernard, even just for the different tonality of the bark or growl. Or communicating with dogs that have had their tails and ears amputated (considering that these body parts are essential for decipher each other’s messages). It is therefore important to put the puppy in contact with as many dogs as possible.
As for education, it is worth specifying that teaching a puppy takes time. Even when it comes to seemingly trivial actions, such as responding to a simple call, doing the needs outside or not pulling on the leash. In other words, the owner who is in trouble is simply in good company.
