Buying A Puppy Suggestions - continues

It is not a good idea to take your young puppy to a dog park for a socializing encounter.  So many loose dogs can be a bit overwhelming for your young pup.  You really want to strive to make socializing encounters a positive experience; not something scary.  If your young puppy has a bad experience, you may have a difficult time helping them recover from it.  In some cases puppies are permanently scarred from a bad encounter.  Aggression can become a major behavior problem; underlying causes for aggression are fear, territorial dominance, and pain.  Once aggression is established in a puppy or dog, it cannot be fixed.  You can be taught how to deal with the aggression, but it will not go away once it is established.
