Ok I was just vieiwng the post on the beautiful cavalier book and reading a few chapter reviews. It mentioned that often your pets character is developed in the 8-16 wk period (which I have read before).
But it also cautioned not to let your pet near other dogs etc.. before final 4mth shots (16 wks). At the same time most articles I read pump the importance of puppy socialization classes. I see a conflict here...
What are the views here, to socialize your puppy with different noises, activities and visitors at home and wait out the 16 wks or do you attend puppy socialization classes etc.. I was going to let my daugher attend in march when the puppy will be 12-16 wks but now I think perhaps I should just find books with what they do in those classes and attempt to recreate the play at home.
