Proper Socialization - the MOST important step in your puppy's development! 

So often, the first thing people think about when bringing a puppy home is to teach your puppy skills like "sit", "down", and "stay". Unfortunately, when your time is spent on skills, you're missing a crucial developmental stage for your puppy, her Critical Socialization Period. This fleeting developmental period is what sets the stage for who your puppy is going to be as an adult. And it involves so much more than what you may think. You can teach your puppy new skills at any age, but when this window of opportunity shuts for your puppy, it doesn't re-open. Don't miss the chance to help your puppy reach her fullest potential in life.
