Welcome to our new episode all about puppies! Today, we're focusing on two important things: socialization and developmental stages.

Socialization is super important for puppies because it helps them learn how to interact with other dogs, people, and their surroundings. It's all about giving them positive experiences to set them up to be happy and confident adults.

Puppies go through different stages of development as they grow up. They start out completely dependent on their mom, then become more curious and independent as they get older.

Throughout this episode, we'll share easy tips for socializing your puppy and understanding each stage of their growth. Whether you're a new puppy parent or have had dogs before, there's always something new to learn about raising a happy, healthy pup.

So let's dive in and make sure your puppy's early days are filled with fun and learning!

Your dog is as much of an individual as you are, which means he or she has dislikes, likes, fears, stressors, things that overwhelm, etc. Dogs can be more introverted, or extroverted. Some dogs love social gatherings while others are overwhelmed by them. Some dogs enjoy being touched, while others do not. Each dog is different, so getting to know your dog is a super important part of not only understanding them but setting them up for success. It is ok to pick and choose optional activities that your dog enjoys and avoid the ones that they do not. Choices build trust and create less stress in your dog's life. Do you know what your dog actually enjoys?

This weeks podcast has some fun, but also we get a bit serious discussing anxiety in dogs. A serious subject, with serious consequences if left untreated.
