Dogs are by their very nature social butterflies and love a good meet, sniff & playtime. By exposing your dog to variety of people, other animals, sights, and sounds at a young age they are less likely to be fearful of new experiences as they grow older. Every dog owner dreams of having a well-rounded fur companion and socializing does just that. Take your dog on car rides to fun places at an early age, so he doesn’t learn to associate a car ride with a trip to the vet!

You will find a wide variety of dogs at an off leash dog park so your dog is sure to hit it off with one of them. This is a great way to get to know neighbors and interact with their dogs. Often times if dogs like each other the owners will arrange for a meet and sniff at a dog park at a specific time.
Dog Park USA and Dogster Local help dog owners find the pet-friendly parks close to their homes or in destinations they’re planning to visit.

Dogs make great ice breakers when it comes to (human) dating… People reveal more of themselves when there’s no pressure. Do an activity with your dog and your date where you both can just relax in the conversation and enjoy the moment.
Always speak respectfully to your dog. Berating or speaking down to your dog may be viewed as how you may talk to humans as well. |

The weekend is approaching and you’re looking forward to being guests for dinner and drinks at a friend’s house and the biggest plus is they’re even welcoming your dog. Here are a few tips to make sure that the night goes well:
1) Bring your dog’s carrier or bed and take them to their “place” while you eat.
2) Don’t feed your dog from the table or from your plate.
3) Don’t let your dog lick from your plate.
4) Feed and exercise your dog before you arrive to help it be more restful and less hungry.
5) Bring a juicy treat or bone for your dog to entertain itself while you all eat. |

1) Adopt a dog – Be a hero!
2) Participate in dog training classes, agility, Reiki, dog therapy, T-touch. A great way to learn something for you and your dog while meeting others.
3) Talk with your dog. Dogs don’t judge what you say and they won’t throw it back in your lap later.
4) Walk with your dog. Dogs need about 30 minutes of exercise everyday and so do you!
5) Socialize with your dog. Dogs are the perfect ice-breakers – take part in social communities like Dogster and LeashesandLovers to make more connections with dog lovers world-wide. |

When it comes to socializing, dog lovers have an advantage. Our pets can break the ice for us. But, here are some guidelines to make more friends and maybe even a date!
1) Even though you’re with your crowd, don’t refer to yourself as your dog’s mommy.
2) Make a playdate for your pets if you have an interest in another dog owner – and “my pet has a headache” is an easy out should there not be animal attraction.
3) Don’t wear black to the party as it shows more fur/hair.
4) You may talk about your dog, but be sure to ask them questions too.
5) Hold back from smooching your pooch in front of a new prospect until at least the third date! |
