Someone told me when I got a pup to expose her to LOTS of different surfaces -- grass, cement, brush, puddles, rocks, etc. I did that with Jillie and noticed a big difference in how she reacts to new surfaces compared with how my other Yorkie does.
Of course, that's not ALWAYS a good thing. She's the first one to dive into a mud puddle when I'd rather she walk around it.
