Raising puppies with empathy: Kidnapped From Planet Dog - Whole Dog Journal [Note: This article suggests playdates with other puppies or gentle adult dogs. This may not be the best idea - some puppies will become the playground bullies, others will be victims, some gentle adults may put up with more than they should have to, and some may retaliate. Also, you don't want a pup obsessed with playing with others - you should be the best thing in their life.]
