Early socialisation is super important. Think of socialisation as environmental exposure. This includes any sounds, sight and smell you can experience in your puppy’s lifetime then this is where you want to take your puppy. You may be concerned about your puppy not having all of their vaccinations but please don’t keep your puppy at home. You can take your puppy with you in the car, you can carry your puppy with you to these different environments. More puppies get rehomed as a result of a lack of environmental exposure and training. It can take months if not years to rehabilitate a dog that has only seen their backyard. See below check list for environmental exposure.
