After You Get Your Puppy

AFTER You Get Your Puppy covers the last three developmental deadlines that your puppy needs to meet before he is five months old: 1.

Your puppy should be socialized to a wide variety of people, especially children, men, and strangers, before he is twelve weeks old. 2.

Your puppy must learn to inhibit the force of his bites and develop a "soft mouth" before he is eighteen weeks old. 3.

You must prevent predictable adolescent problems.
