The document discusses the importance of early socialization training for dogs. It notes that proper training at a young age through positive reinforcement, socialization, and addressing behavioral issues can help dogs become well-adjusted, safe members of their homes and communities. Without training, dogs are at higher risk for developing aggression and behavioral problems that can lead to shelter intake or danger for owners.
