Pet Owners Aren’t Adequately Socializing Their Puppies, Study Finds. – Janet Cutler for University of Guelph
A significant number of pet owners fail to adequately socialize their puppies, putting these dogs at risk of developing behavioural problems down the road, say U of G researchers.
In a new study, population medicine professors Jason Coe and Lee Niel and post-doc Janet Cutler found one-third of pet owners surveyed failed to expose their puppies to enough social stimuli, including people and animals, during the first few months of the dogs’ lives.
