Nice Day to walk around the park and work on socalization.
What is socialization?
Socializing a dog involves exposing them to various people, animals, environments, and sounds in a positive and controlled manner to help them become well-adjusted and confident.
What isn't socialization?
Socialization is not about overwhelming your dog with new experiences or letting them run wild with other dogs. It's also not just free-for-all interactions at a dog park, allowing any stranger to pet them, or simply getting a dog used to a world of constant stimulation. Proper socialization is a carefully managed process of creating positive associations with different people, environments, sounds, and other animals to build confidence, not just exposure.
