Today's Topic: As dogs have become more prominent members of the family in recent years, we've seen an incredible increase in the desire to learn how to raise a dog "right", often starting when a puppy is brought home for the first time.  And there's no dog training subject that has gained more awareness and prominence in recent years than puppy socialization. But what exactly is puppy socialization, and more importantly, how do you do it "right"?  This is why we invited certified professional dog trainer, canine behavior consultant and author, Marge Rogers, CPDT-KA, as well as her longtime collaborator, award-winning author and dog trainer, Eileen Anderson, to the podcast, to discuss their latest book, Puppy Socialization: What It Is and How to Do It, which defines and demystifies what puppy socialization is, and shows you real-life examples of how to do socialization right via photographs and exclusive linked videos.  Guests Bio: Eileen Anderson is an award-winning author and dog trainer.
