Reinforce your puppy's positive emotions with treats and praise.

It is important to reinforce good behavior with rewards.

Set boundaries for what is permitted and teach your puppies the commands “stop” and “no.”

Gradually accustom the puppy to new people in the family.

The dog should not be afraid of people and should be able to get to know them.

Gradually take the puppy outside and introduce him to the outside world - smells, sounds and pictures.

To socialize your puppy as intensively as possible, alternate being on a leash in crowded places with free walking and playing with other dogs.

It is also useful to accustom your pet to traveling on public transport.

It will be useful if your friends agree to pet the puppy during a walk and give the baby a treat.

Attend puppy classes in your area.

If you find it difficult to cope with raising and socializing a puppy on your own, it is important to seek the help of a dog trainer.
