In the past, we've used "the rules" to socialise puppies as much as possible before and after they've had their jabs.

However my link doesn't appear to be working anymore - has anyone got this please?    A new addition (6 week old black lab bitch) will be joining our family this weekend!

Is this the one you mean, Margot?

That's the one!   Thanks JG!!! :)

I've never seen that before, there's some interesting things in there like the different surfaces - will use those ideas when I get my pup in 3 weeks, thanks!

Thats fab! wish i'd had this link sooner!

the link isnt working for me!  ARG, would have loved to read it

Getting my pup in 9 days time and counting. I got a list like this when i did a puppy party at the vets 2 yrs ago with my current boy, not sure where i placed the list so printed a copy of this one off.

That's a brilliant article - thanks for that. If only everyone could be told about it, and follow it.
