Socialization opportunity for puppies in NSB

My heart and soul of all the training I do. These fearful dogs. It means everything to me to see them learn to trust me and the other dogs. They just don’t live long enough to waste a single minute getting better.

Sadie Bo was dumped in the woods at 6 months old. Her family has no idea what happened to her prior, but my guess is zero exposure to new things or other dogs. So many people assume dogs like this have been physically abused. Good chance that this is often not the case. As I say time and time again, lack of socialization is a greater form of abuse than physical abuse. Dogs struggle more when they don’t trust anyone or anything simply because they have not been around a ton of environmentals, especially dogs. It’s crazy what a huge factor that is in the dog world. But let’s think about it. The first year of a dogs life is like the first 10
Years of a child. Imagine a child spent the first 10 years of his life in hiding? It would affect him in a huge way.

Sadie Bo began to show teeth, growl, and snap when her family would come across other dogs. They knew it was a huge problem and that as much as they tried, it wasn’t getting better, in fact, it was quickly getting worse.

So although it looks like torture in the beginning, every single move we made had a purpose. I surrounded Sadie Bo with everything new. All new obstacles, and the biggest obstacle being multiple dogs. I advocated for her 💯 meaning not letting dogs be in her face for more than 3 seconds and keeping her on a leash the whole time. I pushed her and and pushed her so she can see that she’s capable of so much more. I also gave her an hour nap in her crate away from all the dogs so she can soak it in, decompress, and start after her brain had a chance to relax. Then I took her out for the small dog social where she would be even less intimidated.

It’s all strategized.

Please

If you have a puppy, socialize it as much as you possible can. You can safely socialize young puppies. Waiting till they have all their vaccines is often too late for some of these dogs. Choose dogs that are healthy, vaccinated, and well cared for to have your new puppy around.
There are not enough homes for “only dogs”. Shelters are packed with dogs that can’t live with dogs or even all past other dogs without losing their minds. This can all be avoided.
Help me to educate others!

8 month old Sadie started to show aggression to other dogs due to lack of exposure as a younger pup.

Have you socialized your pup lately?

Anybody hook up with other people in this group? I know I’ve always always always have people asking where they can socialize their dog, so if you are on the same page, look below at the posts to see where I separated locations for people to hook up.
dogs.

A well balanced and happy dog, LOVES other dogs. A dog only loves other dogs if they get to be around them a lot or else they become grumpy any antisocial :-) nobody wants a grumpy and antisocial dog.

Why social group and not a dog park? Simple safety.
-this is a controlled situation unlike a fog park filled with unknown dogs with unpredictable behaviors owned by owners who all feel the same
-Vaccinated dogs only
-No aggressive behaviors allowed

So happy some people have posted their pups info to connect with others. Can’t wait for the physical connection to happen and to see pics of your dogs loving being with their own species! I wish everyone would understand how dogs are so much more balanced when with other dogs :)

Still trying to think of the best way to this, so I am open for suggestions. I thought I would do a post for different locations and then people in those areas can follow the thread and comment and connect with one another.

Feel free to post pics of your pup, state age, location, size, and temperament (super friendly- wants to be all over other dogs and knows no boundaries, medium level, or shy/timid (needs well mannered calmer dogs).

I can't say enugh about how important socialization is, and how fearful anxious dogs become so much better from being around other dogs. Getting together with other pups in smaller groups is best, especially for those who really get timid around too many dogs. By starting this page, I am hoping that people can connect with others and have little play groups with those who live near by and have maybe the same size dogs as others, breeds, temperaments..etc. SO often clients say that they don't know of other dogs that play nicely or who live in the same area, or who have playful friendly younger dogs.

My one request is that you post pics here of your pups playing and loving life!

Make sure you connect with other pups who are healthy and vaccinated.
