Well you are getting prepared, when is pup due to be with you? Mine is due to be end of March
Here’s some suggestions re socialising him in our current COVID climate and basic training pre vaccinations
In the garden let him sniff around then to start when he looks up towards you I would run away and when he chases you stop and call him and crouch down and when he gets to you to praise him / make a fuss of him - this will help with his recall later.
I would also be taking him out in the car and carry him around town to get him socialised with things like cars, lorries, (in normal times, which we are not in, unfortunately - I would also take him to the supermarket / school gates (still in your arms ) as then he would meet loads of different people who go ooo ahhh)
If you can take him (still carrying him, until he’s had all his vaccinations) and let him see horses, cows, sheep etc.
Once he is fully vaccinated I would do all the above but this time with him on a lead and on the ground - but only for short spells.
Wishing you all the best and look forward to meeting him
