How to Socialize Your Dog

Socializing your dog helps them feel confident around new people, pets, and places! Try these 4 simple tips to get started.

Tip 1: Start Early and Slow

Begin socializing your dog as a puppy or gradually with an older dog. Introduce them to one new friend—human or pet—at a time to keep it stress-free.

Tip 2: Use Positive Experiences

Take your dog to a park or a friend’s house with treats in hand. Reward them for calm behavior around others. PupplyBox’s 2 USA-made treats in every monthly box are great for this!

Play gentle noises like traffic or doorbell sounds at home. Reward your dog for staying relaxed. Pair it with a PupplyBox premium toy to keep them engaged!
