BENEFITS of socialization for puppies younger than 16 weeks

• Helps build their immune system
• Top behaviorists in the field agree that socializing at this age is imperative for the development of a well-adjusted dog
• Decreases undesirable behaviors due to separation anxiety
• Helps with teething behaviors and bite inhibition before and during the teething process
• Exerts energy so less bad habits develop at home
• Encourages fearful and submissive puppies to gain confidence with increased stimulation, noises, and faster movement made by other puppies

RISKS of socialization for puppies younger than 16 weeks

• Their immune system is not fully developed and they have not completed their puppy vaccine series, which means they have a higher risk of getting sick (kennel cough, parvo, distempter). In addition, symptoms of illness can be stronger and/or worse (i.e. may get dehydrated quicker, may need supportive care quicker than an adult dog)
• They have not had their rabies vaccine
• Smaller breed dogs and puppies are at an increased risk of injury while playing
