Socializing our Labradors

Many of us enjoy taking our dogs for walks or simply taking them for car rides, but we all know it’s important for our Labradors to behave well when they are outside of their normal environment. Our Labradors need lots of confidence and ease which is why it’s important for you to expose your dogs to new environments. You can take them to parks to interact with other dogs or have different people over so they see new faces. In a perfect world, we could protect our dogs from negative, anxious and frightening situations. In the real world, we must help our dogs learn how to cope and respond, in a healthy and acceptable manner, to the spectrum of people, animals, places and things they might encounter along the road of life. Between the ages 3 and 12 weeks the influences that surround our Labradors are long-lasting influences and that’s why here at Susana’s Labradors we make sure we give all our puppies love and attention. The mothers of the puppies are also a very big influence on them as a young puppy. All of our moms of the Yellow, Chocolate, Fox red, White and, black Labrador Puppies give love to their puppies and give them all undivided equal attention. People tend to move to a new home or new city and their Labradors begin to become fearful and/or aggressive because they are around new people and around other dogs that they are not aware of. A way to prevent your Labrador from being unfriendly in your new environment is to continue to socialize in adult hood. They do need continuous socialization throughout their lives. We take our dogs for walks and let them socialize with our other dogs and let them see unfamiliar faces as they get older to prevent them from becoming fearful or aggressive.
