About OurSocializationDog Training

Name: Sit Means Sit Dog Training Ocean County
Address: 169 Hooper Ave, Toms River, NJ, 08753, US
Telephone: (732) 597-7022

Socialization with dogs, humans, and other animals is a great way to ensure a well-mannered and confident dog. The best time to socialize is between 10-16 weeks of age, but not all dogs get to experience socialization as a puppy. A lot of rescue dogs enter their new homes without proper socialization, which can put stress on both the dog and the owner.

Signs Your Dog May Need Extra Socialization

Fearful around people or other animals
Nervous when out on walks
Shy or overly excited around people or other dogs
Aggressive towards other dogs
Tail tucked between the legs

A dog with improper socialization runs the risk of becoming fearful or aggressive. Contact us today to see how we can help!
