Puppy Socialization with Eileen Anderson and Marge Rogers

Emily and Libby sit down with trainers and behavioral consultants Marge and Eileen about a much-anticipated topic: puppy socialization! Marge and Eileen talk about:

• The first 12 weeks of a puppy’s life are the "critical window" for socialization 
• What proper socialization is, and is not
• Why exposure alone is not socialization 
• Practical ways to help puppies form positive associations with the world around them
• What flooding is and why it’s problematic
• The dilemma of too much vs. too little exposure
• How rescues and shelters can work with adolescent dogs who missed socialization

This is a wonderful conversation for anyone working with puppies on a regular basis or new adopters.
