[quote=Anonymous]It’s definiteyl a trick to get them socialized while also not exposing them to disease before they have their shots.

The good news is that in an apartment, your pup will meet so many people on your trips outside. That will help. A puppy class will help the little one get used to other dogs. There are cheap ones at pet stores like Pet Smart or more expensive ones at speciality training places.

For the first few days, you’ll want to be home to take the puppy out alllll the time. I think my puppy was out every 45-60 minutes for the first day or two while we taught him to potty outside. From there, we make stretched the times out.

I will say that the very best dog I ever had lived in an apartment in an urban area for the first six years of his life. He met new people all the time, would lay down if a child asked to pet him, and even had a few hosts at restaurants stashing treats in their patio stands.

Congrats on the puppy! The puppy weeks are tough, but you’ll be laughing so much at all the silly behavior. Take lots of pictures and videos! You’ll cherish them when the dog is older. :)[/quote]
