How much different does the socialization need to be between a sports dog, and personal protection dog? Or is it the same?

The initial pup socialization should be the same... it is the dogs later training that is different. PP dogs MUST be social, to an extent, so that they are not dangerous around people...
It is the later training off the field out of the equiptment that teaches the dog not all people are nice...

Does socialization basically mean socialization with people? What about socialization with dogs? I am asking because most people do not allow other dogs approach their dogs, even if both dogs are evidently friendly.
I am from Europe and IMO dogs there are less people friendly and more dog friendly because they have more contacts with other dogs and less people socialization generally.
Any comments?

My working dogs need to learn to *ignore* other dogs, not love or make friends w/them. They get to interact w/each other at home when we are there to supervise.
It's easy to overdo it and end up w/dogs who think the Sch field is the doggie park.

ok, I understand that, but, then why are not dogs/puppies taught to ignore people instead of those petting-being friendly procedures?
If dogs are dog friendly through dog socialization they are not longer interested in other dogs after this puppy stage from my observation.

And what about people having only one dog?
I guess there are not many of them on this board... I am just an amateur <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Ewa,
It depends on your goals. If you are training for some type of working endeavor, the opportunities for socialization will be found w/in your training group, be it Sch, SAR, whatever. The dogs will need to adjust to working around and ignoring each other.
For pet/companion, it's up to you how much interaction you want your dog to have w/other dogs.

Thanks!
I guess I just want to have a pet/companion trained in Schutzhund <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I started my own program of dog socialization recently (usually when other dogs' owners are absent <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ) and it works very good with my dog.

Here's how I do it. I have two dogs; one is a working dog, and one is a companion, but I handle their socialization the same. When we are walking, they are to ignore other dogs. I do not want my dogs thinking that they have to meet every other dog on the street. When we are working, they are to ignore other dogs. I want them to focus on their work, not on other dogs. When they are allowed to socialize, it is when friends bring their dogs over to my house, or I take my dogs to a friend's house. Or, in the case of the working dog, we let the dogs swim or play together, after the training is done. As you can see, all socialization with other dogs is done under controlled circumstances, when I wish for it to happen. Any other time, they are to ignore other dogs.
