Tail Docking in Dogs. Information on Canine Tail Docking. Tail docking is the surgical removal of part of the dog's tail. This procedure is most often performed in healthy puppies between 2 to 5 days of age. A similar procedure may be performed in older pets, but this is considered a tail amputation, not a tail dock.
Other End of the Spectrum. At the other end of the spectrum, puppies from young ages also require interplay with human beings, whether they've found their forever homes or not. Wee doggies who are from 8 to 16 weeks in age need to be around people -- and to be touched -- to ensure positive relationships into adulthood. If a puppy gets to 16 weeks in age and has only been around his doggie family, a strong chance exists he might take on an overly apprehensive temperament around people.
