Your dog is a wonderful friend and you’d like to be able to share with the world just how great she is. How can you help her make some new friends to share her time with?

Your pet needs you to understand that there are certain things she is comfortable with and some that she isn’t quite able to grasp just yet. If socializing with others is new to her, it will likely fall in the latter category and she will need your guidance to make some friends. This means teaching her how to behave appropriately in different situations and allowing her to tag along with you when you go somewhere that would welcome a dog. It also means encouraging her to be brave and approach others while still respecting their personal space. For more information, please contact your local Carolina Forest, SC veterinarian.
