Seven Steps to Socialization

An unusual new sight for a new puppy.

Begin to introduce your puppy to the new experience from a distance.

Gradually get closer to the stimuli. Continue to treat and encourage your pup.

Allow your pup the opportunity to investigate.

Whenever possible, ask new people that you meet to give your puppy a treat.

Take advantage of all opportunities. Your pup should get a treat for checking things out.

End the experience with a big reward, such as his favorite toy, a game, or yummy treats!
