The Importance of Early Life Socialization. . . If you don’t have a dog yet, or have a young puppy, it’s important to take advantage of a very precious thing in your dog’s life. Your dog goes through what’s called a critical socialization period between the ages of about 5 weeks to about 12 weeks. I can’t say enough how important it is to understand what your puppy’s development looks like at this age. .... . Basically, your puppy around this age is a sponge. New experiences are easily accepted including water! If your dog is not introduced to water (or anything new, really) before this age, puppies are much more likely to be scared of it. . . This makes evolutionary sense because mother dogs keep their puppies safe for their early lives. Chances are if a mother dog kept her puppies away from something until this age, it’s dangerous! So evolution has made your puppy much more accepting of new things while she’s young, and much more suspicious as she gets older. Imagine a dog that was never scared of anything new! They’d quickly get themselves into trouble with cars, bears, or other dangerous things. This critical socialization period is an extremely important few weeks of your puppy’s developmental life. Not just for water, but for everything. Socializing a dog gets a lot tougher when your dog is an adult! . . Our puppy foundations class's first field trip with their pawrents led by our #dk9team .
