Many people believe that socialization is simply getting your pup out and about, or introducing people to it. Socialization is far more in depth than that.
Socialization is about understanding how to
guide your pup into problem solving behaviors, conquering fears, and learning how to live life in a confident fashion in our human world. It's part of teaching your pup to learn how to learn as well.
I completely understand your fears, hhalford, but until you conquer yours, your puppy will not conquer his.
