Canine-To-Canine socialization is a frequently misunderstood concept.  While puppies can be let loose together to learn how to interact, the same practice can have detrimental effects on adult dogs.  While there are always exceptions, socially mature dogs do not typically enjoy playing with large groups of unfamiliar dogs.  They may either attempt to avoid the dogs, stand close to their human family or even growl and snap at boisterous young dogs that come too close to them.  Such behavior is often misidentified as abnormal, when in fact it is quite common and should be addressed immediately.

 

Resource Guarding in dogs can be a relatively benign behavior, like running away with a coveted item or growling at an approaching person, to full-blown aggression, such as biting or chasing a person away. Some dogs only direct resource guarding toward certain people, often strangers. Other dogs guard their resources from all people.
 

Our goal is to instruct and if necessary, rehabilitate older pets to behave calmly in public, on walks, at home and in social situations. Introducing older pets to new behaviors and training can be tricky and requires a full understanding of Canine Psychology and sometimes require the assistance of a professional trainer.
