How to have properly socialized Rottweiler
Its never late to start work on dog socialization.
Socialization is part of the life, its work during a day.
Commands as ‘’ no and come ‘’ to me present basic and most important things, but it’s not all up to command, big part takes socialization.
Socialization is most important, well socialized dog practically mean that the dog accept every kind of environment “city, traffic, vet. place, other dogs and hand touch “.
Socialization is nothing then be adaptive for very different places and situations.
We can get it on the way where we take the dog through very different situations during day routine ‘’ jump in the car, walk through the city, in side of shop moll, parks with children and dogs around etc.. “
Ages limit there are no exist, but everything is easier with young dogs or puppies.
When I say younger dogs or puppies I don’t think that they are smarter than older dogs, it is just that older dogs have previous experience “good or bad “.
Bad experienced dog lets say walking thought noise traffic will make dog to be scary , nervous or shy in same situation.
In this case the first thing we need to do is correction on the dog and then the dog will start be free mind, relaxed and we can continue further with socialization.
Dogs connect bad or good feelings with momently situation, based on this the dog make experience ” good or bad “.
On our example “scary dog in traffic “ probably his owner took him direct to the heavy noise traffic place and when the dog showed fear the owner did not take him out of it or the owner did not give support maybe he pull him on the leash to go further what probably the dog refuse.
The dog felt bad experience and did not get owner support in right time and right way so now his behavior must be corrected first.
What I think that the owner should have done is “ stop and not pull the dog , take some food or toys and try to redirect his mind from stress to play but before that the owner should take the dog on place with lass traffic, much more quiet and start from there ‘’.
Dogs’ behavior is always based on previous experience.
Less bad experience situation easier to work with in future.
The reason why younger dogs are easier for socialization is because they had less life time to feel and experience bad or stressful situation .
