Description
Presentation Details:
Socializing your puppy at a young age is critical to how she will respond to strange people, places, and dogs later in life. But why? What is different in the brains of puppies younger than 3-4 months that makes them such sponges for learning? Dr. Jessica Hekman, a veterinary researcher who studies canine personality, talks about what we know about exactly what’s happening in the brains of very young puppies. Get your science geek on and come learn about socialization!
