socialising a 0.2 yo yorkie puppy, what I did

Biscuit came home from the breeder at 8 weeks and the first thing I noticed is that she only trusted the sofa. Everything outside was a monster. Traffic, motorbikes, the cleaning lady, even the lift in our condo building. So I made a plan. Every day we went down to the lobby for ten minutes, sat on a bench and gave her chicken in small bits. Nobody was allowed to come straight at her. We let the people come to her slowly and she could choose to go back to me any time. After one week she was walking up to the security guard for treats. We also did a short walk on the quiet soi in the morning, then went to the busy road only after she was calm. I learned that the first few months are really important for puppies, so the vaccine part does not mean stay inside the whole time. Ask your vet when it is safe to take them out, it is usually earlier than people think. The best thing was meeting other dogs in the park near Khlong San. Biscuit now plays with a big labrador and is not scared of anything anymore, except the vacuum cleaner. We are still working on that one.
