Some experiences must, of course, occur after the puppy is 16 weeks of age, due to risk of infectious diseases.
Handle your puppy daily, touching him from nose to tail. Touch his ears, toes, teeth, clipping nails every 3 days, brushing fur. This will help your puppy when you have to visit the vet's office or groomer.
Start out quietly and then increase the level, while reassuring that it is OK. Ideally, show your puppy the item when it is turned off, to allow them to gain confidence and reassurance that it is nothing to be afraid of. After your puppy’s body language has improved, then you can turn it on. Make sure he gets used to household sounds like the vacuum cleaner, hairdryer, smoke alarm, electric shaver, the TV, loud music, knocking, the garbage disposal, sirens, fireworks, thunder, lawnmower, blender, airplanes, popping balloon, food processor, air brakes on a big truck, washer/dryer, loud speaker, horn, alarm clock, etc.
