The 3 Ways to Socialize Dogs

In this video, we socialize the dog in training 3 different ways.
1) On leash - the most overlooked form of socializing. We teach dogs to behave calmly in the presence of other dogs while on leash. We want to discontinue the idea that your dog gets to interact with every dog he sees.

2) Off leash withOUT play - there are lots of times when one dog doesn't want to play. We teach dogs how NOT to play with dogs like this because they need to know when to leave a dog alone.

3) Off leash play - always supervise playful dogs. Things can get messy real fast even if dogs are familiar with one another. It's the owners responsibility to monitor the amount of rough housing that's allowed and to take breaks every few minutes to prevent the adrenaline from escalating too much and to teach the dogs to have an "off switch" during play.
