Develops your Dog's "Hidden Intelligence"

Just as the saying “a chip off the old block” often holds true for humans, it can apply to dogs as well. Puppies that are well-socialized are more likely to come from dogs that are well-socialized.

A basic part of a pup’s socialization is based on their mother’s attitude–relaxed or skittish–toward people. The way you interact with your new puppy can play a big role, too. Playing, petting, and talking with your pup can help him or her develop the “people skills” needed to be a good member of the family and the neighborhood.
