Expectations/First Day
You may have been thinking about bringing home a new friend for a while but your new dog may be surprised by the sudden change in their life. Being in a new place can be scary, even for the most confident dog; there are lots of new sights, sounds, and smells to get used to. You can set up your puppy to feel safe and confident about their new home.

Socialization means exposing a young puppy to different people, sights, sounds, experiences, and places in a controlled, positive way. This process sets the youngster up to be more confident and tolerant as an adult.
