This socialization should take place at a very early age; this can be done at your local park or any other public setting.

Allow your puppy to interact with strangers but you will need to establish authority and dominance over your puppy right away. This dog has a dominance streak that you will need to control immediately. Proper socialization is the key to your dog leading a happy life. Another important factor for your puppy’s health is vaccinations. It is important to also ask your vet about worming treatments and flea control.

The right diet will keep you puppy healthy and it is important to choose a high quality dog food. Meat should be the first ingredient in high quality dog food.
