Socializing Puppies with Dr. Karen Overall - MMBC May 2025
What do we mean when we recommend that puppies are 'socialized'? Is there a role for mom in this? What about the home or environment into which the dog is born? Are the recommendations the same for puppies adopted young and older pups? When should puppies be adopted? What about pups that have some early trauma or neglect? What can we fix and what can we prevent? This webcast will review each of these issues, identify factors to which we should pay more attention, and discuss when interventions may help and what those could be.
Speaker: Dr. Karen L. Overall, BA, MA, VMD, PhD, DACVB
Professor of Behavioural Medicine at Atlantic Veterinary College, University of Prince Edward Island
