The first eight weeks are a remarkable period of growth. Puppies learn through their mother, littermates, surroundings, and every kind interaction with the people caring for them.
Thoughtful socialisation is not about constant stimulation. It means introducing everyday sounds, surfaces, handling, and short new experiences at a pace each puppy can manage.
Rest is just as important as enrichment. When activity and recovery are balanced, puppies have the space to process new experiences and develop into curious, resilient companions.
