Each day we have new puppies that enter Barkz. Some come into puppy playgroups right away at 8 weeks old and some come in later. There are discrepancies in the information provided on the Internet and through vets regarding when to socialize your puppy. Some vets believe to wait until all vaccinations are effective whereas professional dog trainers and the team at Barkz believe that we need to socialize our puppies right away starting at 8 weeks old. Listed below is an article from the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) discussing the effects of not socializing your puppy right away.
