Re: Socialising
The best thing is puppy classes, you'll learn almost as much as Skye will with behaviour etc. Socialisation is really important so that she learns that other dogs aren't a threat and can be great fun

Re: Socialising
puppy classes are good as long as they are run properly, with structure - not just a free-for-all.
try and make sure that all her meetings with other dogs/puppies are good xperiences by checking with the other owner first if their dog is good with others.

Re: Socialising
Also note that they're socialisation period is very short, roughly from 3-12 weeks of age, so if you're waiting for vaccines etc do you have any friends with vaccinated dogs that could come to your house to meet and play with Skye?
