Puppy Socialization During a Pandemic Puppies are supposed to meet a lot of people and go a lot of places during their first year, in order to be properly socialized. This has been worrying me a lot. Jax, given his poor start in life followed by the pandemic (stay at home orders, social distancing, etc) has missed out on a lot of socialization. I don’t know how to address this problem, since my area is still a virus hot spot and since I’m in a higher risk group (seniors).
What are people doing to socialize puppies without exposing themselves, more than necessary, to the virus? Is it going to be too late to fix the damage by the time we get past the pandemic? |
