[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7 month old pup, and none. She does a training class once:wk where she sees other dogs. We walk by a dog park every day and will stop in for a bit IF there are only a few familiar dogs in there...happens maybe 2-3 times/wk. But she doesn’t really play with the other dogs anyway and is more interested in wandering around, playing fetch etc I don’t think most dogs “need” interaction with other dogs. I do think playing with other dogs can tire dogs out really quickly and be good for them- if it is the right mix of dogs together. [/quote] Incorrect. Dogs need to be socialized. There is a pretty short window for dog socialization 3weeks -3 months or so. However, dogs should be supervised completely when being socialized. If you're in a city it should be reasonably easy to find a trainer or day care that will help. If you don't know what proper play looks like and the dogs are mismatched in size, dog park is not the way to go. [/quote]
