Puppy Dog Bingo.
Every great, well-behaved, well-adjusted dog I have met has one thing in common.
Every timid, violent, nightmare dog also lacks this same quality / trait.
It is so simple, yet many owners forget to do it.
So in the Spirit of Car Bingo, I give you:
Socialization
As a new dog owner, I challenge you slowly, and positively expose your new puppy to every last thing on this card. When they are really young (under 4 months) You are their hero. Anything you say is true, anything you say is ok won't be feared. But it is a short window of time. (By 6-8 months), Anything you forget, your pup may be frightened of forever.Puppy Dog Bingo

Tips:
- Petting Zoos/Farms, Dog Parks, and Pet Stores are great places to go!
- This isn't a torture test. It is key you immerse your baby slowly, gently and carefully into each item. If they are afraid, allow them to retreat, but slowly retry, and show them it is ok
