my 2 cents on puppy socialization, they dont need it, it really does not do alot from my point of view, others will say it gets them used to greeting other dogs, I would rather train them to ignore other dogs, less problems, best way I can put it is how many people in your life time have you encountered that you instantly did not like? dogs would be the same, except hackles would go up, teeth shown, barking and growling, lunging, having trained both ways, i`m a firm believer now in training to ignore them, I can and have walked anyone of my 3 past a growling snarling dog, and no reaction from any of mine , but like I said, this is my experience
