It is natural to want to show off your new dog to all your friends and family members right away, but it's best to give your dog a few weeks to settle in to their home routine before doing so. I volunteer with a rescue and so many times, people adopt dogs and immediately take them to their family members' house or a party or some place similar and completely overwhelm a dog who is already overwhelmed just by the nature of their circumstances.
