Socialization between puppies, specifically its littermates and mom, the puppy will begin learning social skills. 11 to 20 weeks is your puppy's crucial dog-to-people socialization period (dog-to-dog does not end). As you broaden your critters' experiences to new places, new dogs, and people by providing positive exposure to the expanding world through appropriate interactions, they will become more confident and begin to learn good manners.
