Socializing in dog training is the process of exposing a dog to different people, animals, environments, and experiences in a positive and safe way. This helps the dog to become comfortable in a variety of situations and is an important part of creating a well-rounded and balanced dog. Socialization helps a dog to learn appropriate behaviors and how to interact with other animals and people in a positive manner. It also helps to build trust and confidence, as well as reduce stress and anxiety. Socialization should begin as early as possible, preferably at 8 weeks of age.
