Building up little experiences

Most breeders wont give you any tips on what to do with puppies.  We try to arm our owners with lots of information. 
From an experienced point of view the HPR breed should be placed in homes sooner than 8 weeks, but we are all tied to a silly rule.  We say this because it's detrimental for some slow growing breeds to be mature enough to leave at 8 weeks, then we have the detrimental effect on quick growing intelligent breeds which need social skills much sooner.  So for example those breeding Vizsla must start their pups on a program at home which the owner must take on soon as they go home.  At 8 weeks your at the stage of needing to be out and about with your pups. 
Carry your puppy or put it in a puppy pram and get out in the countryside. Go and sit outside Morrisons for half an hour.  Go down a road with traffic.  Go down past a field of horses. 
Then continue to build on it.  We have a spread sheet you can tick off the experiences your puppy needs from 8 weeks.  This is going to also change now as I can add more into it. 

Today at 10 weeks D'Jango went to the local Ford. There was lots of children playing and screaming.  He got to meet 2 little dogs. He got fuss from several people after they asked, although I will limit this.  He got to learn how to sit quietly at a table and be given rewards for sitting patiently at the table. He got to paddle in water.  At the pub we met a horse whose owner had come down for a drink. All these little normal things he will come into contact with will help him be a better adult. 

Now dont over whelm your puppy by allowing strange dogs to play with your puppy.  A sniff and greet is all they should do.  They should not be allowed to rough play.  This causes reactivity later in the dogs life when it hits adolescence.  So be sensible.
