The start of the year means lots of new puppies out and about. I can't emphasise too much how important it is to socialise your puppy. Up to the ages of 16 weeks your dog should have as many positive experiences with a wide variety of people, places and objects as possible. You will reap the rewards for all this hard work when you have a confident, non spooky adult dog. Dr Sophia Yin is a vet and clinical behaviourist, she has written a wonderful article outlining how and why you should socialise your young pup.
