Early socialisation of pups

[Gia]

Hi Andre! Thanks for the link, I do exactly the same things which the author describes, with all the puppies, every day. Additionally from the first days I touch and delicately massage their paws, ears and tails.

Sadie, thanks! We too, have many friends coming to us to play with the pups and touch them. Not only adults, but also kids and later – friendly dogs.
I haven’t tried putting them on the table, but you’re right, this is truly important, so I will add this to our “program”.

When the pups are a bit older and more ready for contact, I organize a special “socialization party” for them. The guests come dressed in costumes, so the pups are touched by and played with smerfs, a batman, bees or Greek gods. The party is funny and noisy and the pups are in the centre of attention. My first litter really loved it, just like K-lee.
