Summary: Socialization is the most important training you can do for your Puppy. We want to get our puppy out from the very beginning and do as much as we can in their early weeks.Socialization is more than just exposing your dog to new people and dogs. It also includes new places, objects, sounds, textures, environments, and other animals.
