Sorry you have 4 weeks to cover 100 people, places, sounds and dogs.
Soical skills is not what the litter mates and mothers can teach that should be done at around 8 to 10 weeks. It is getting out in the world and facing what they will see for the rest of thier lives and learning to cope with it.

It not just being ok with your Mother and litter mates it is being ok with big dogs, little dogs, long tail dogs, short tail dogs, white dogs, black dogs, dogs with hair over thier face and smoe without. And unless a breeders got that in their reach to have a pup see all them and more there is no way they can cover it.

You add in needing to see people of all differnt shapes sizes colours, hats no hats and on and on.

Then you add seeing cars and trucks and motercycles, boats tress and on and on.

Up next to kids and cats and horses.

There is no way a breeder can do it all if they have a large litter and life outside raising pups.

As I spent a great deal of my time in life doing clean up with dogs that have not been well soicalzed and get them to thier CGNs or even to feel ok in their skins.
