You’re having a puppy but it’s still at a young age so you’re concerning whether to let it come outside to socialize with other dogs or keep it inside until it reaches a certain age? Let me tell you this. Being overprotective is not gonna work well. Imagine that you have a child who is about the age to join in kindergarten. However, you’re uncertain about your child’s attitudes and behaviors when encountering his new friends for the very first time. You decide not to let your child go anymore. Do you know what will be the consequence? He will have no friends at all. You can be one but mates within the same age are always better. Same to puppies. That’s why this blog is here to show you the key when introducing your puppy to other dogs the first time so that you will no longer worry.

I know it’s challenging. Simply because you don’t know how your puppy will behave. Will it gonna “communicate” well with other puppies, dogs or even bigger dogs? What if unwanted behaviors start to take place? There are lots and lots of questions you ask yourself when it comes to the time your puppy meets up with its canine friends. Believe me, this is absolutely normal reaction. Now, let’s come back to the main point. Here are the cases with different mix of dogs so that your pup will have no problem socializing any certain dogs.

When Introducing Your Puppy To Other Puppies?

It sounds simple, doesn’t it? Just like a child comes to his first class and meet different and strange faces. I remember when I was at my kindergarten age, I cried the moment I saw the doorstep of my first class. That was funny but still, a normal reaction. There’s always something anxious and fearful when you run into a whole new world with new things. What do you think will happen when introducing your pup to other puppies for the first time ever?

Puppies are usually full of energy, enthusiast and excitement. The earlier introducing your puppy to other puppies is, the quicker they will get along. When puppies are at around the same age, there’s an invisible harmony between them. They almost come up with same ideas, same thoughts and same energy.

A social and confident puppy loves to meet new friends

A confident puppy always loves to socialize with friends in its age. So determine if yours is confident, social or not. How to see such characteristics in dogs? Easy like a piece of cake. When your pup is kept inside the house, does it have the habit or running around, sniffing things and playing games with you? Well, if it does, then a yes to the question. Those acts indicate your pup is interested in discovering things around it. Therefore, when it meets a new friend, a surprise at first wouldn’t make him stop “communicating” with its brand new pal.

On the contrary, if your pup turns out to be the opposite, frequently lying in a corner, not so excited with all your games, then, you need to train it a bit more. Get it to be more active first. Make it be interested in something, ball fetching, for example. Then things should be alright.
