I will never discount socialization it is very important to have your puppy in new situations, meeting new people, playing with strange dogs but if your dog is genetically unsound no amount of socialization is going to change. Choose wisely and carefully, make sure the BOTH parents have a BST. If you adopting a rescue the rescue person should have done a thorough evaluation. There are dogs out there that have suffered horrible abuse but I personally believe because they were sound to begin with they were able to overcome it and become an wonderful addition to the family.

Socializing the already sound puppy is tons of fun and still is very necessary. I just wouldn't count on this as a method of fixing a puppy.
