CLEVELAND, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With the holidays just around the corner and loved ones coming to town, now is the time for pet parents to focus on training their dogs for introductions. In Safety FURst, a new video training series produced by Embrace Pet Insurance, celebrity dog mom and certified dog trainer Laura Nativo shares helpful training tips for introducing dogs to each other and to new people.
"While dogs are naturally social animals that are brilliant in their species-to-species communications, they don't always automatically get along with each other. It's important to take care of our dog's well-being when meeting new dogs and people alike," advises Nativo. She also notes that the key to a successful introduction is listening to your dog. "Be proactive with your dog by learning to read their body language, enrolling them in socialization classes, or hiring a positive reinforcement trainer to help your pet be less anxious about greetings," says Nativo. It's important to recognize that dogs are individuals with their own personalities, and some are inherently less social than others.
