In this episode, we tackle a question every new puppy owner faces: should you take your puppy to public spaces like dog parks before they’re fully vaccinated? We’ll explore the risks and benefits from both a health and behavioral perspective, share safe alternatives for early socialization, and discuss how to strike the right balance for your pup. Whether you’re concerned about disease exposure or shaping your puppy’s future behavior, this episode provides practical insights to help you make informed decisions.
