Care Tips for your Dog’s Long and Healthy Life – Part 3

Socializing

Allow them to meet other people and dogs in a low-risk environment. Socializing helps develop relationships and reduces anxiety and fear of people, animals, and places. This minimizes serious behavioral problems, such as aggression or nervous behavior. Take your dog on frequent walks while keeping them on a leash.

Identification

If your dog is off-leash, chances are he’ll get out of your yard sometimes without you knowing. You can lessen your worries by putting a microchip on him. This makes it easier for you to locate them. Make sure the contact information is up-to-date and registered. You can also use dog tags for the same purpose.
