1 WHAT IS? Socialization is the process of learning to accept and feel confident in a wide variety of situations, with a wide variety of people and animals. Statistics show that more dogs are surrendered to shelters for behaviors associated with lack of socialization than for any other reason. Statistics also tells us that more dogs will lose their lives (i.e. be euthanized) due to lack of socialization than to any disease known to afflict canines. Beyond these statistics, lack of socialization can leave a dog with multiple fears and insecurities, often leading to aggression. A well socialized dog enjoys life to the fullest since he is comfortable in almost all situations. I have often wondered why domestic canines are so much more prone to social ineptitude, lack of confidence and fear aggression. A seminar by the renowned psychologist and dog trainer Stanley Coren answered this question for me. Dr. Coren pointed out that socialization for wild canines such as coyotes and wolves is far less challenging than it is for our domestic dogs. Wild canines grow up in an environment that is fairly stable and they are helped greatly by the guidance of older canines throughout their lives. Life is very different for domestic dogs because they are taken from their litter at a very young age and thrust into a human environment that is astoundingly varied and stressful. Puppies are born with a wide open window of opportunity to be socialized. When young, dogs quickly and easily learn to accept handling, noises, changes in their environment and low-level stresses. It is your responsibility to introduce your dog to a wide variety of people, dogs (dogs that are known to have good health and an updated shot record) and environments. Older dogs that did not get the benefit of socialization when young can still play catch-up. However, the process is slower and more difficult since an older dog is no longer a blank slate but rather, has learned many fears due to the lack of exposure to life. GETTING ORGANIZED FOR SUCCESSFUL The list below can help to get your socialization efforts organized. Over the next few you should strive to check off as many different categories as possible. DO NOT force your dog into a challenge that is too scary for him to handle. Instead, allow him to investigate at his own pace and reward him for his bravery. Once you have identified categories that your dog has difficulty with, begin exposing your dog to those things on a regular basis. Adding tasty treats to these situations whether new puppy or older dog can speed up the process for you. Think of it this way after many positive exposures, with tasty treats added in, a scary person, place or thing actually begins to seem pretty positive.
