Many dogs in the albums are not nearly as easy to rehome as they were not properly and timeously socialised to other dogs and cats when young. Will post a daily topic on socialisation - heres the first in a series, courtesy of Google. Really important to know that Puppies are most accepting of new experiences between 3 and 12 weeks old. After that age, they become much more cautious of anything they haven’t yet encountered. From about 12 to 18 weeks old the opportunity to easily socialize the puppy ends—and with each passing week it becomes harder to get the pup to accept and enjoy something that he’s initially wary of. After 18 weeks old, it’s extremely difficult, and sometimes impossible, to teach a dog to like something new, or help him become comfortable with something he finds frightening. aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/dog-behavior/socializing-your-puppy
