Where do you/can you take your dog?

Here's a good link to start:

Basicly, take your pup into any situation it might encounter as an adult... USE COMMON SENSE. Allow your pup to approach people, not the other way around. Keep people from leaning over pup, and always have them scratch pup's chin, rather than top o pup's head.

Don't go places where a lot of dogs frequent, as you don't know the level of vaccination or control folks have over their dogs.

Hope this helps.
