How do I socialize my new boxer puppy? General Dog Discussions
We brought her to a pet store. In her first visit to one, she behaved just fine, besides getting over-excited at a few dogs (tail wagging, wanting to play, no barking). We took her again this weekend and she barked, tug and growled. She seemed so overwhelmed.How can we socialize her properly? She will sit down when we ask her to, but only for a second, and then she reverts back to normal behavior. She almost got out of her collar she was squirming so much.The training harness a friend suggested pulls the dog away from the excitement when they tug. Is this good for the suggested socialization methods?
