Socialization

Dogs are pack animals by nature. The earlier your dog is exposed to other dogs the better and easier it will be for you later. The more your dog is exposed to other dogs the easier it gets. Maw'n Paws will try to keep the same dogs together in group walks to maintain positive relationships. Socialization is important to help avoid aggression, reduces stress and promotes mental health.
