Some of your pet\u2019s socialization will happen naturally as you move through daily life together, but it\u2019s important to make sure that he or she is exposed to a variety of people, places, animals, noises, and smells early on in life.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some ideas you can implement to help your pet become familiar and comfortable with his or her world include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interaction with you and your family<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interaction with other people, especially children<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposure to other animals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposure to new places, such as other people\u2019s homes, the veterinarian\u2019s office, and your vehicle<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting your pet used to being touched and handled<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning about appropriate responses to environmental stimuli<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>The Benefits Of Pet Socialization<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well-behaved pets are more confident, happier, and pose less risk to others and to themselves. Because a properly socialized pet knows how to respond appropriately, he or she is easier to control and, thus, able to enjoy a wider range of experiences, as well as deeper bonds with their human family members.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pet Socialization: Where To Begin<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a perfect world, everyone would begin their pet\u2019s socialization process during the \u201csensitive period\u201d, which is between 3 and 9 weeks of age for kittens and 3 and 14 weeks of age for puppies. However, because each pet is an individual, this timing can vary. For many dogs and cats, adequate socialization is possible even when they are much older. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve your pet\u2019s social skills with the following tips:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to provide plenty of praise and comforting during the socialization process.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stop as soon as your pet shows signs of fear or stress.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until your pet is fully vaccinated, avoid public places where lots of animals gather, such as dog parks and pet stores.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider professional socialization and training classes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>How Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center Can Help<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of your dog\u2019s age, we encourage you to consider professional obedience training.
