It’s National Train Your Dog Month in January and with that in mind, we’re exploring the age-old discussion of “Nature versus Nurture.” The fact is both are important. “Nature” is what your dog is born with, and “nurture” is what you provide them to be healthy, happy, and well-rounded members of the family. A critical aspect of “nurture” is dog socialization. Its importance cannot be underrated in raising your dog.
General dog socialization is introducing your dog to broad range of new experiences, dogs, people, environments, and activities. While you likely can’t expose your dog to everything he or she may encounter, the good news is that positive exposure to wide variety of experiences results in a dog that easily adjusts to new things throughout their life. In other words, well-socialized dogs are more secure, confident, and self-assured.
There’s no bond like the one you share with your furry best friend. But our lifestyles can make it challenging to fulfill all our dogs’ needs to stay healthy and happy. This can lead to issues at home, from loneliness and boredom to weight gain, anxiety, and undesirable behaviors.
One of the best ways to support your goals for dog socialization is to enroll in Central Bark’s Enrichment Doggy Day Care. What it does is provide your dog a place to play and learn in a safe and loving environment with the socialization classes, mental stimulation, and physical exercise their minds and bodies need to stay healthy and happy for a lifetime. We do this through fun and rewarding activated that encourage your dog to use their senses to problem solve, learn new skills, and gain confidence. Enrichment Doggy Day Care is our specialty and nobody does it quite like us. And you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is having a great day with all their four-legged friends.
