Dog socialization is more than dropping Fido off at the park for playtime. Socialization is an important part of teaching your puppy or dog how to behave in a variety of situations. Socializing puppies starts at a very young age. Breeders handle young puppies at three weeks of age and then start exposing them to unfamiliar people at four to five weeks of age. 

When you decide to take on the responsibility of a dog, socialization becomes your job. Exposing your dog to other canines, people, and situations, is actually part of his training and helps to shape his personality. He'll learn what behavior is appropriate and what isn't and he'll be able to interact comfortably with dogs and people alike.
