Early Socialization of the Jack Russell Terrier
The three stages of Socialization:
1.Early Neurological Stimulation – as explained on the Bio-Sensor Method page has a limited window between the third and sixteenth day of life.
Early Neurological Stimulation – as explained on the Bio-Sensor Method page has a limited window between the third and sixteenth day of life.2.Socialization – the second critical stage in canine socialization also has a limited window between the fourth and sixteenth week. Socialization begins while the puppies are still living in our home. They will be exposed to a variety of sights, sounds, toys, different environments and surfaces (as seen in the pictures below). They will be introduced to and handled by other adults and children and they will have access to our other dogs. By the time the puppies reach eight week of age, they will be ready for their new homes and for their new families to continue in this critical phase of early socialization. Most importantly, you will want to make sure your new puppy is registered for Puppy Kindergarten between 10 and 12 weeks of age!

This is the phase is also called lifelong socialization and refers to making sure your dog lives a happy, healthy and active life. Dogs need exercise every day. Exercise can be both physical and mental so if the weather is bad, teach your dog a new trick or hide treats or toys around the house and teach your dog to “search” for them. If you have to take a ride to pick up the kids from school, bring your dog along!
