It’s hard to overemphasize the importance of socialization with dogs. Thankfully my kids are more than willing to help. Sarah loves to take the dogs for walks on lead, and Samuel, when Sarah is at school loves to play spiderman on the kennels, wrestle and play with the dogs (currently Josie a sweet, but energetic pointer is his favorite), and when he is tired, Sam likes to lay in the sun on top of the dog house where it is warm. You couldn’t ask for better socialization.Â
