Volunteers known as "home socializers" take the puppies out of the kennel environment and introduce them to a home setting between the ages of six and eight weeks old. The puppies' first tests begin after they have been with multiple home socializers. The tests look for "patterns of behavior indicating how well the puppy adapts to change, its quickness of learning, its energy level, its reactions to noises and novel objects after repeated socialization, and finally its willingness to turn its attention to people, even when tempted by sniffing or another dog" ("Puppy Testing").

Classical Conditioning Within the psychological paradigm, several types of learning exist. The most basic form is associative learning which describes the process of making new associations between events in the environment ("Index of learning theories and models," 2011).

In behaviorism, classical conditioning was the first type of learning discovered, and so named "classical" conditioning. Ivan Pavlov made the initial discoveries through his studies of the digestive system of dogs when he became intrigued by the hungry dogs' eventual learned response to Pavlov and his assistants.

The cost of the animal, the training of an infant pet, and most importantly, worrying how the animal will bond with the family that adopts them.
