The Rule of Sevens

The Rule of Sevens method is another method of socialization that we strongly believe in.  This method states that by the time a puppy is 7 weeks old it should be exposed to the following situations:

Been in 7 different, safe locations

Eaten from 7 different containers

Met at least 7 different people

Ridden at least 7 miles in a car

Been in a crate at least 7 times

Played with 7 different kinds of toys

Been exposed to 7 different contexts

Been played with or taken somewhere alone (without mom or litter mates) 7 different times
