Poodle puppies 8 weeks playing in a baby pool 

Structured socialization is great, but self guided exploration is priceless! By giving these puppies the dog bed to easily get in and out of the baby pool, we have provided them the tools to explore an otherwise possibly scary place. Having safe experiences with their littermates at their own pace is an important part of puppyhood. This is part of the reason our pups don't go to new homes until 10 weeks.
