Socialization is a critical ongoing endeavor in a puppy’s life, laying the foundation for their future behavior. Puppies are highly observant and sensitive to their environment, learning from their interactions with people, animals, and places. However, socialization can be challenging, especially during the adolescent stage (6-18 months). Common issues include overexcitement, fear, aggression, leash reactivity, and separation anxiety. Understanding the developing brain and its influence on puppy behavior can help owners address these challenges effectively.
