It is sooooo important to socialize them as early as possible and to keep it up. We got Higgins while we were camping this winter just so he would have the advantage of lots of other people and dogs. We live on a quiet dead end dirt road and we don't have a lot of company, so he doesn't get to see a lot of people unless we are camping. He was a little shy with children this past week, but warmed right up and looked forward to our friends' little girl when she would come into view. So it's good to take them where they can meet and be handled gently by folks. |
