At around three weeks old, puppies begin to see, hear, and move around more. Then we start gentle socialization. Social skills are very important for a well-behaved adult dog.
Our dogs are introduced to:
- Common household sounds like TV, vacuum, and talking;
- New people and kids;
- Toys and soft bedding;
- Short and supervised playtimes.
By they are 8 weeks old, our pups are confident and playful. They are used to human touch and enjoy being held and cuddled. This early care helps them adjust quickly to their new homes.
