Abstract

The main focus of the study was to determine the significant relationship between the level of observance of attachment and the level of socialization skills among pet owners in Laguna. The enhancement program was to guide these pet owners. It would tackle, train, and, help pet owners to get on track with increasing their socialization skills, and guide them on how to take care of pets in a normal and psychologically healthy way.   Through stratified random sampling, the respondents of the study were  100 pet owners in Laguna. Adapted surveys such as the Pet Attachment Scale (LAPS) and Social Skill Scale (SSS) were used as questionnaire instruments for the gathering of data. Using the five-point Likert scale, the simple mean, and Pearson-r correlation, findings revealed that these pet owners have highly observed levels of attachment such as to psychological and physical aspects. There was a moderate and positive correlation as to psychological and physical aspects of peer relationships and adaptability.  An enhancement program could shed light on what are the positive benefits of pet attachment particularly in physical and psychological aspects. It would serve as a tool to improve their socialization skills. Peer relationships and adaptability are also a part of human nature and it may be a positive behavior if pet owners could be educated.
