The importance of early socialization of your new puppy can’t be overstated! It is the most important thing you can do to help prevent the most serious dog problem owners have - aggression.
Puppies between the ages of 2 and 4 months are in a developmental period where they are readily open to bonding with dogs and people, and are very impressionable. Puppies that have positive, low-stress social experiences at this age are less likely to be fearful of people, (including different types of people), and other dogs as adults. Dogs that have missed out on this critical time have a much greater chance of biting someone later on.Puppy Party! (designed especially for the under 20 week old crowd)
