I don't think you can really start the socialization process to early. I got Ezabell at 9 weeks. I immidiately started taking her down to our local park. She not only loves to play and explore, but she learns the very important lessons of real life obedience. It is great to let other people interact with new puppies. It will teach your pup not to be intimmidated by other ppl. Of course, as its Alpha, you need to be aware of what its behavior is like at the park. Try to keep him/her inline and dont let him get away with things he can't do at home. Ezabell knows when we are close to the park. It gets her all excited to know that she gets to play. And dogs are like humans... the can find someone their size to play with and that the like.
