Socialization is the growth of an adult dog
Puppies go through a variety of experiences to understand the world surrounding them, master how to communicate with the world, and then prepare for the future. This period is called the socialization period (experience period) . At this stage, puppies will absorb a large amount of knowledge from intense stimulation or experience.
Although dog breeds and characteristics will vary, the socialization period approximately refers to the period of 313 weeks after the puppy is born.
First of all, understand "I am a dog"
The first half of the socialization era is probably Equivalent to lactation period.
The puppies just born into this world don’t even know who they are. At first, puppies just rely on their animal instincts to exist. They learn how to call and interact with each other from their mother. From the moment a dog is born, the mother dog not only has to nourish its body, but also teaches it how to communicate with other dogs in the dog world.
In addition, puppies experimentally learn the methods and rules of fighting by playing with brothers and sisters who were born together.
If you don’t understand the dog’s society
If the puppy does not interact with its mother during the lactation period, Or if other dogs have enough contact and only live with humans, they will think that they are humans. The result of this situation is that when it encounters other dogs while walking, it will not think that the other dog is its own kind, and may attack them randomly, or run away out of fear.
