Socialization really is the key. All puppies need to be petted by different kinds of people, also lots of dog interaction. If you have dogs you can trust it would be so much better.Once every 2 months I visit with my mum to her groomer who has 8 poodles and 2 puppies!
At first I didn't want to put Tia down , she was terrified ( shes 5 lb , smaller than the poodle pups). I knew it was for her own good as all the poodles are very balanced dogs , they have to be as the owner looks after other poodles for a living. After 5 min Tia settled right in and was playing amongst them , it was great. Socialization is the key.
