Good questions
Before you begin.
When should the first visit happen?
Soon after the puppy arrives, once it has settled and your veterinarian has cleared outings.
How long do puppies focus?
Only a few minutes at a time. Visits should be short and playful.
Is the first visit more about me than the puppy?
Often. Owners learn the routine, and the puppy practices small pieces of it.
Do I need special gear?
A leash, collar or harness, a crate or pen and small treats are common starting points.
