| December 18, 2014

Regardless of the breed of dog you chose, your puppy must be socialized and exposed to all kinds of things if you want a truly friendly dog that is not afraid at whatever our crazy world throws at her. This list is 10 of the most important things your puppy should be exposed to, in a positive way, to help make her a well-adjusted dog.
