<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<,
Hi Charolette,
I agree that the pups have to be protected from injury, and from themselves~~(to a point)~~~
Socialization is a main key to pursue, but, common sense should be used in this situation~~
For example, My main concern has always been,( and breeders have told Me this ),
do Not let the puppy play on stairs, on slick floors, ect...
PS:  I don't like dog parks either ~~
