Why is early socialization critical for managing a Havapoo's potential for fear or uncertainty barking?
Answer
Exposing a puppy to novelty builds confidence, making them less likely to bark out of fear.
Exposing a puppy to a wide array of sights, sounds, and people during the critical socialization window helps build confidence, which in turn reduces the likelihood of barking driven by fear or uncertainty.
