How to best socialize a working / sport pup birth to 8 weeks

Julia Tompson · 04-01-2006, 07:30 AM

Some GREAT feedback from another post inspired me to start a new post this time asking the best ways to socialize a pup from birth to 8 weeks.

So what experiences should the pups experience and what things are better off avoided?

Also what motherly behaviors most influence the temperament and nerves of the pups and what is the end result. Examples Please

For example: if mother is a finicky eater will the pups tend to finicky too and not so motivated by food drives? Marsha has always been finicky but I really don't want her pups to be and I really want to take the proper steps to insure these pups experiences all the things that will help them develop into a great dog regardless of the sport or work they end up doing.
