Socialization

It is important to socialize your puppy during the first 3 to 20 weeks. During this time puppies need to be introduced to new people, places, sounds, animals, smells, and everything else. This socialization will help ensure a well adjusted and socialized puppy. However, sometimes we are not involved in the puppy stages, but adopt an older dog; it possible the older dog was not socialized properly. Golden Paws can help your puppy and your older dog learn proper socialization skills.

Aggression

Prevention is the best medicine when it comes to behavior problems, but sometimes this is not possible. When you adopt or rescue a dog you may not know the dog's history which can include behavioral problems such as aggression. Aggression is the most common behavior problem for which they are referred to veterinary behaviorist. There are different types of aggression and they need to be addressed differently. Golden Paws can help you identify the type of aggression and give you tools and techniques to address the specific type of aggression.

Fears and Phobias

Many dogs suffer from fears and phobias. Loud noises such as thunder, sudden movements, other dogs or animals, and even certain people can instill fear in a dog. Dogs who have not been socialized can fear children, bicycles, skateboards, and even people wearing ball caps. Like aggression, it is important to correctly identify the fear and phobia. Golden Paws can help; we can then help reduce or eliminate the fear or phobia. Often eliminating the fear or phobia is not possible, but managing it is.
