Making sure your dog grows up to be friendly and social is serious business. Find out whether you're on the right path by taking this quick quiz.

How friendly is your dog?

1. When your dog meets new people, she:
Greets them with a wag or a kiss
Gives them a cautious sniff or ignores them
Barks, freezes, or cowers in a corner
2. When you bring your pup to a new dog run, she:
Heads over to the group and starts playing
Sniffs out the run and seems unfazed by the other dogs
Sticks to my side, acts shy and tentative
Sometimes bullies or plays roughly with other dogs
3. How often is your dog exposed to new people? Any exposure counts, whether meeting people on walks, on visits with friends and neighbors, or while running errands and hanging out around town.  
Several times a week or more
About once a week
Hardly ever
4. How often is your pup exposed to other dogs?
Several times a week or more
About once a week
Less than once a week
5. Does your dog resist being touched in certain spots, such as her ears, paws, or tail?
Yes
No, my dog is comfortable everywhere I touch her
