Experiences for a happy and relaxed Litter? - Page 1

When rearing a litter, what type of experiences do you like to introduce to them, to help them in being well-adjusted and happily confident individuals? (Indoors and outdoors). Thanks, Vixen

In the house with different floor surfaces, stairs, vacuum cleaner running. Outside, lawn mowing (with pups safely confined of course) Sprinklers going, riding in cars-basically as many experiences as possible that are safe. Also like to do one on one things with the individual pups so they are not so dependent on their littermates.
