Introductions
Things you need to know about introducing a new dog to other dogs, dog parks, cats, and children.
 |
Introducing Dogs
For social dogs, making a new doggie friend can be easy and fun. For more cautious dogs, the right introduction may mean the difference between friends and foes. Taking the time to make a good first impression can ease any nervousness and get the dogs on the path to a great relationship. |

Dog Parks
Dogs are social creatures and many of them enjoy the company of their own kind. For a social dog, being around other dogs at the park can provide exercise through play, boost confidence, and relieve stress. However, for a dog that isn’t sure about other dogs or prefers to make friends slowly, being at the dog parks can lead to anxiety and even fights. |

Introducing Cats and Dogs
Cats and dogs don’t have to fight like… well, cats and dogs. They can live peacefully together and even develop close bonds. But first they need to be safely introduced. |
 |
Introducing Dogs and Kids
Many people want their children to know the joy of loving a pet. However there can be some challenges to having dogs and kids in the same home. The best plan is to start early, before problems arise, and be prepared for things to change over time. Your dog may need a little help dealing with each new phase of your child’s life. |
