Bailey went to Tractor Supply after her round of vaccinations at the vet.
I was always so leary to get puppies out because I never wanted them to catch parvo or anything contagious. But I heard some puppies like Australian Shepherds get the most benefit from socialization before 12 weeks 😮 That’s well before they get their final vaccinations.
So be smart about it but socialize those pups. Bailey enjoyed her first cart ride 🤣
We didn’t put her down on the floor but she still learned from this experience. She learned how to ride in the car, how to behave around many people she’s never met, and she got to enjoy many new sights and smells.
Another option to to schedule play dates with other puppies or dogs that you are certain are up to date on vaccinations. Puppy school with a trainer is always recommended as well. If your interested and need help finding someone, reach out I will recommend a few 😉
Just wanted to take a moment to describe the importance of socialization at a young age. It can help unwanted behavior from the start ❤️ I hope everyone is enjoying their growing puppies! Bailey was 18# today.
