How do you fellow Husky owners socialize your puppy? Not many of my friends have dogs and she's growing quick. My puppy is now 12 1/2 weeks old and she's only met maybe around 5-6 dogs. Sizes ranged from small to big. She seems comfortable enough (they were fully vaccinated). But I can't take her to a dog park yet because she hasn't had her Porvovirus shot yet or her rabies shot since she's too young. She ADORES people to death we've had many people come over she's interacted with all races, sizes, males, females, energetic, calm, loving, to shy people. She seems to adore everybody. So no issues there with people.

How do you guys go about this problem with introducing her to other dogs though? Thanks again guys!

The best thing you can do is continue to let her meet other dogs in organized, private settings. Organizing play dates or attending puppy play/socialization classes are really all you can do for allowing her to play freely with dogs.

If your fear of parvo is very strong and active then you can't really go out in public very much. If your fear is milder and moderate, then a walk down the sidewalk in your neighborhood is fine, keeping her out of grass and away from bushes and things.

Remember, socialization is not just social time with dogs and people. Objects and sounds and noises and experiences all count. I use to ride the bus with my puppy all the time which was a very rich socialization exercise that was priceless, as I now ride the bus with him still as a 2 year old dog and he's wonderful on it.

Think of the dog you want in a year or two and begin socialization--training--for that dog now with your puppy.
