Farida wanted to get a dog to put in her garden and play with, and she actually got a 9-month-old dog!

When she first got it, she was very happy with it, but she encountered a problem…

The problem is that every time she goes out to play with him, she finds him hiding from her and not wanting to play with her at all!

Although she tried a lot with him and brought him a lot of toys , he still doesn't want to play with her!

Let's understand together what is the reason for this problem...

Let's agree that pets are exactly like children, so we need to introduce the pet to everything around it at the beginning of its life...

At first, you might find him afraid, then he distances himself from you. He is still aware of the world around him!

The gist of the matter is that you should care for your dog as if he were your newborn child.

The more you care for him, the more social he will become and able to deal with the environment around him!

If you neglect him, you will find him withdrawn and afraid of everything.

In general, the idea of raising a pet depends on acclimating it to the place it is in and getting to know it, just as Tarzan lived in the jungle and adapted to this being his natural environment.

Pets in general and dogs in particular go through several stages until they adapt and become social...

From the age of 3 weeks, a very important stage begins in the life of puppies, which is the Sensitive Period!

This is the stage through which the pet gets to know the world around him, and this is greatly reflected in the rest of the puppy’s behavior.

Ok, how will this stage affect his behavior?

If your pet has had a bad experience at this stage, you will find him afraid of you or his toys, and he will consider anything new dangerous to him.

Like a unique dog, he was afraid of her and her toys , so he hid and refused to play!

The problem of fear in dogs is usually due to the fact that they originally belong to the wolf family...

In the wild, they are always alert and expect danger, so they consider anything strange a danger to them.

As for the pet that passes through this stage correctly, it will be reflected in his behavior in a big way later on.

You will find him listening to you easily, very smart in his actions, and able to understand you.

This is because he has adapted to the environment around him and is able to deal with it easily.

Note: Taking care of the pet at this stage is very important, because teaching and adapting it will be easier than adapting it at later stages of its life.

Because in the advanced stages, dealing with it will be more therapeutic than educational.

As the saying goes, "When he grows old, take him to school!"

5 Tips to Make Your Dog Social

1- Increase social visits, so that he gets used to having many people in the house, and gets used to dealing with them.

2- As for his food, try to have all the family members give him his food , to break the barrier of fear in him and prevent him from acting aggressively if someone gives him food.

3- Take care of his cleanliness every day, even if he doesn’t need it, just to strengthen your relationship with him and get him used to listening to you and being subservient to you.

4- Let your dog interact with other dogs, but try to put a muzzle on his mouth so that he does not attack other dogs out of fear or as a means of self-defense.

5- Take your dog out using only the leash and muzzle and let him see the world around him and love him with love. Take the muzzle and then the leash until you end up participating in dog competitions with him!

In order for your dog to be social, love you, be kind to your friends, and not be afraid of people, you must take care of him, from food to medicine and toys!
