If you have a puppy, this podcast is for you! Typically you pick-up your puppy from a rescue or breeder around 8 - 9 weeks old. But did you know the clock is already ticking on socializing that puppy? What does that even mean? 

Connie goes through puppy socialization, the dos and don'ts and the sometimes still controversial puppy class versus vaccinations.
