Dogs, for the longest, are known for their lifetime companionship in ways no other being on this planet would come even close in terms of their faithfulness and loyalty to their human counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will only be legit if they are placed second to family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But raising a dog is in no way less than raising a toddler, wherein you have to make them learn to inhabit the ways of human civilization so they can be at ease with the kind of life around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fact Because dogs are perceived as creatures having remarkable memory and olfactory senses, it becomes more important to mold them into learning ways of living humanly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike any other living being, they respond to the external stimuli projected towards them. Various scientific studies validate their exceptional behavioral patterns, making them perfect human communication candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n
Since time immemorial, dogs have lived within human confinements as one entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dogs have sophisticated forms of social cognition and communication skills, allowing them to adapt to human surroundings successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dogs perform multifaceted roles for their human friends, assisting police forces for search operations, given their significant sense of smell and companionship, making them invaluable as man’s best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The more contemporary style of living has the concept of including them as family members, and it has dramatically revolutionized how families are shaping up communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have often heard a common saying that if a dog is waiving its tail on you, it means he likes you being around, and somehow he has permitted you to enter his territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dogs are known to showcase amazing communication skills<\/a> to relay and receive information from other dogs and nearby humans in their immediate vicinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They do it by reading facial expressions, body postures, voice orientations, and memory of body scent\/pheromones giving away the individual’s identity standing next to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, humans communicate using hand signals, body postures, and voice modulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n Dogs are special because of their sensitivity and familiarity to understand human emotions unique to the animal kingdom where other animals’ prime objective of living is to reproduce and carry out basic means of survival; dogs take it one notch above and make it about more than just living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, there are two schools of thought divided over the socialism of dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time, one is focused on dogs displaying the socialized pack behavior and the other being the dominant tendencies making them difficult to live in groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning ways of social behavior in human societies becomes much easier for dogs in their early life spans. They are yet to imprint their rogue means of living with other animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The preferable age for learning is between 5 to 12 weeks. Even after 12 weeks, they can be used to living with their newfound human friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it will require more training and patience because your canine fellow is used to a certain way of living, and it would only be a matter of time before he unlearns and adapt to the present scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A well-socialized dog will eventually have a much complacent reaction when meeting new people and other dogs and thus will interact with a calm, friendly demeanor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n As mentioned earlier, smaller puppies are more open and receptive to acquiring new behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once they have surpassed a certain age, they become more aware of their surroundings and turn more apprehensive of new people and things as a defense mechanism to shield themselves from uncalled danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taking your dog for morning\/evening walks daily exposes them to new people and surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The more it becomes a routine, the greater are the chances of your canine friend picking on new scents and behaving in a calm, composed manner when it comes to passing by other fellow animals on the streets, including humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnderstanding Socialism<\/h2>\n\n\n
