I belong to an online network of dog lovers and today one of my community members posed the question, "I just took in a rescue dog that isn't very well socialized. Should I get another dog to socialize this one?"
I'd love to hear what you think about this.
Here's what I think. I don't think she should. What if the two dogs don't, or can't, get along. That's not fair to either one of them. Instead I would seek a dog training facility that has socialization classes for dogs. The Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul has an excellent facility with a great track record of this type of training. It's called The Canine Coach. If you live in another city and have first hand knowledge of a training facility that works with socializing dogs, please post a link in the Comment Section below, along with your thoughts on how you would suggest she handle her dilemma.
