Sproodle Puppy's First Adventure

Sunday 19th May 2019

This little girl is only 12 weeks but so curious and excited to see everything-although she looks up for reassurance when she hears strange sounds. She can't understand why not everyone wants to stroke her though. Her enrichment plan focuses on all areas of puppy development and socialisation needs whilst taking care not to allow her to damage her limbs or hips until her plates are fully formed at around 12 months https://www.poochonapedestal.co.uk/puppytrainingcardiff
