Puppies Socializing

When you first get a puppy, keep it at your house and get to know your puppy  before it meets anyone else. Once your puppy has gotten accustomed to its home, you may let one friend at a time come and meet your puppy. Your friend must be calm and quiet. Your friend should only hang around for about an hour or two. From time to time, feed your puppy some treats. When your friend meets your puppy, your friend should give your puppy treats to become friends with your puppy.
