Communication with my dog

Exposure is bringing you to the party. Socialization is teaching you how to act at the party. Exposure and socialization are not about creating the friendliest dog in the neighborhood, they are about creating a confident, thoughtful dog that can successfully navigate the world around them.

If we want to become fluent with our dogs, we must understand not only the “language” of training—but also the culture of how dogs communicate and perceive the world. Understanding canine communication helps prevent miscommunication between dogs and humans.
