Skingstone - I second YorkieMum's suggestions. You want to expose your pup in a positive way to as many dogs and as many strangers as is humanly possible, especially between now and about 20 weeks. After 20 weeks, socialization is still important, but the window before 20 weeks is critical.

YorkieMum's book suggestions were good ones. I would add Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson.
