A lot of dogs get some form of socialization during their younger years when they are just puppies. Puppies get exposure to a variety of situations and opportunities during this time which ideally would set them up to become well-domesticated and socialized pets. Having said that, there are often situations when a dog owner gets an adult or older dog that has failed to get even some form of socialization training throughout its life. If this is the case of the dog that has been brought home, such a dog may display some form of aggression or behavior as an initial reaction or behavior. Such a dog that has not undergone any kind of socialization training or experience may seem aloof or even nervous when encountering people or a variety of sounds and sights at home or during leash walks in the park. “Old dogs can be taught new tricks” and they can still get socialized even at this stage.
