Agree!
Socialization is SO important at an early age. I was lucky in the fact that my dad had 2 dogs (that were fully vetted) and my mother, at the time, also had a dog so he got to socialize with them alot. I got him in the winter so for the first 2 months we couldn't really go many places anyways. We first went to the dog park when he was almost 6 months old, simply because of weather.
