TBE Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hai! Today I met my friend out with his labrador mix dog, and the puppy was afraid. She didn't really freak out but was scared for sure, tail was bewteen legs too and she started to pull backwards from the labrador which is probably normal for a 8 week old puppy. Whats a good way to introduce her to other dogs without shocking her? Should I carry her and let the other dog first smell her and then try? I've had her only 2 days is it too early to socialize?

Kered Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hi it's never too early to introduce you're pup to other dogs as she is only 8 weeks old I do t think she should be on a lead as normally pups should be around 12 weeks old before letting them down outside unless in you're garden I would have you're friend come around to you and let them get to know each other slowly as it would be on you're pups territory but I would carry you're pup until you're vet says it's safe for them to go down usually a week after there second injection I'm kooky as we have 2 pups just 8 1/2 weeks old but do have another husky aged 9 and thay bonded straight away. 👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 8 weeks is too young to be out walking she hasnt had all her Injections yet , you need to meet friends with calm dogs that will let pup sniff in it's own time without getting in her face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Unless you're holding her she shouldn't be down on the ground outside before all her injections (Fine in your garden) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
