When is the best time to get a Doodle Puppy?

The best time to get a puppy is a matter of personal preference and depends on your lifestyle and schedule. Some people prefer to get a puppy during the summer when they have more free time to devote to training and socialization, while others prefer to get a puppy during the fall or winter when they have more time to spend at home.

What is Puppy Socialization?

Puppy socialization is the process of introducing a young puppy to a variety of new experiences, people, animals, and environments in a positive and safe way during their critical developmental period, which typically lasts from about 3 to 14 weeks of age. The goal of puppy socialization is to help puppies become well-adjusted, confident, and well-behaved adult dogs.
