The socialization period which occurs at about 3 to 12 or 16 weeks is probably the one that has received the most attention in the early literature on the development of canine behavior. It is possibly the most important, because during this time, social attachments to people are made. This period has often been referred to as the “critical period” for the formation of social relationships. Even a small amount of experience (or a total lack of experience) during this time appears to have long-lasting effects on the dog’s behavior. The puppies that were isolated from all human contact until 16 weeks of age failed to interact with humans when they were first taken out of isolation. With continues contact most of these puppies still showed less social contact with humans and could not become a good companion animal in human families. There are many culture differences between Taiwan society and Western countries such as dog owners in Taiwan like to raise toy breed dogs and most of them do not like to exercise with their pets outside. According to our study last year, 81% of pet dogs in Taipei area were hyperactive, 49% had the problem of over-barking, 46% got fear problems and 28% of them suffered with separation anxiety. Puppy socialization classes, which typically involve basic obedience training as well as allowing socialization with other puppies and people, have become increasingly popular in recent years. Based upon the suggestion that adequate socialization is necessary for appropriate adult behavior, these programs are designed to ensure that sufficient social interaction occurs to produce well socialized animals. The purpose of this study is that we want to set up a proper course of puppy socialization classes for Taiwan owners. According to our study, the method owners always choose to praise their dogs with good behavior were ‘orally praise’, ‘touch him’ and ‘hold him’, whereas the owners did not like to use physically punishment to dear with dog’s bad manner. In the part of owner’s recognition about canine behavior problems, Taipei owners were less aware about ‘sensitive behavior problems’ and ‘over-active behavior problems’. We also survey the basic dog knowledge of puppy owners in Taipei area, most of the owners got medium to high level of scores. But most of them did not know the preventive medicine and physical development of puppies. In the survey of teaching altitude of dog owners, most of them were ‘confident’, ‘authority’ and ‘nurture believing’ owners.application/pdf85582 bytesapplication/pdfzh-TW國立臺灣大學獸醫學系暨研究所幼犬社交教室幼犬行為表現行為問題puppy socialization classespuppy behavior developmentbehavior problems[SDGs]SDG3reporthttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/28697/1/892412H002006.pdf
