We are so lucky to have such great puppy socializers and so many of them. It really gets the puppies used to being held, by small hands, medium hands, large hands. Cuddled, snuggled, having their ears and feet and little toes touched being turned on their backs and having their bellies rubbed. The ears and toes and bellies are just for you new familiy members out there. It is so important to get them used to people touching their feet and ears. This makes it easier for you to trim their nails, clean their ears, have them groomed. I'm sure we all know a dog, if not many that yanks it's paws away if you try to touch them or hides it's ears from you. The belly rubbing ensures that the puppy knows that he/she is not boss. You are. We all love dogs that are so relaxed and easy going that they offer their belly to be scratched, rather then timid or defensive. So even though they are still very young, every time these puppies are handled it is so important!!
