At 8 weeks, your puppy isn't fully vaccinated yet, but it's essential to continue socialisation by giving your puppy positive experiences.
Carrying them around outside to introduce them to new people, sights and sounds is a good idea.
Gradually introduce them to other experiences, such as the car, grooming, being handled and having their ears, eyes and other body parts checked.
You should also begin to leave them alone for short periods to prevent separation-related behaviour.
Establish a consistent routine and rules, reward good behaviour and ignore bad behaviour.
Feed them the same puppy food as they had before and keep the same routine with small, regular meals.
Continue puppy toilet training by rewarding them when they go outside.
Let them rest regularly, as growing and learning is tiring, so keep training sessions short and fun.
