When it comes to socializing your dog, it’s important to remember that it doesn’t mean letting them greet every person or dog they encounter. In fact, this can often do more harm than good, creating unnecessary excitement or fear in your dog.
Think about it this way: Imagine you walk outside and everyone wants to come up and say hi, bombarding you constantly. Wouldn’t you start to feel overwhelmed or frustrated? That’s exactly how your dog feels when they’re constantly being approached by strangers.
Just like you might feel irritated or even snap at someone who’s invading your personal space, your dog might respond with reactivity—growling or snapping—because they can’t communicate the way we do. This is not the kind of behavior we want to encourage.
Instead of letting your dog greet everyone, it’s much better to help them stay in a neutral state of mind while out in public. This creates a more balanced, well-mannered dog who’s comfortable and confident, without unnecessary stress or reactivity. Proper socialization is about controlled exposure and building positive associations, not just letting your dog “say hi” to everyone they meet.
Clear body language and minimal voice commands are essential in dog training because they help create a consistent, easy-to-understand communication system for your dog. Dogs are highly attuned to visual cues, so using specific body movements, gestures, or signals alongside concise verbal commands ensures they know exactly what is expected. This clarity avoids confusion and enables your dog to respond more reliably. At the same time, it’s important not to enable them to “figure it out” on their own, as this can create uncertainty and slow down learning. Being direct and consistent with both your body language and voice commands allows your dog to feel secure in knowing what you want, making training more effective.

Beyond impressed by the quality of work James does at Chico Custom Tint! He tinted my side and back windows with precision and efficiency! In addition he installed my back window decal which I was beyond grateful for. He is kind and straight forward. If you are looking for a honest business man to tint your vehicle I highly recommend him!Chico Custom Tint
