To help your dog socialise with other dogs, start by introducing them to calm, well-socialised dogs in a neutral environment like a park or open space. Keep both dogs on a loose leash initially, allowing them to observe and approach each other at their own pace without pressure. Begin with short, positive interactions and gradually increase the time as your dog becomes more comfortable. Always reward calm behavior with treats or praise to reinforce positive associations. Avoid overwhelming your dog with large groups or overly excited dogs in the beginning. Regular playdates with familiar dogs, enrolling in socialisation or obedience classes, and visiting dog-friendly places can also boost their confidence. Be patient, consistent, and observant of your dog’s body language to ensure they are enjoying the experience and not feeling stressed or threatened.
