Wondering if anyone had any tips on socializing
a puppy with strangers?
Being socialized with other dogs isnt a big concern
right now as she's great with every animal she
meets but she shys away from new people, shes going on
10 weeks and its just the last week that shes started
shying away from people she hasnt met before,
shes fine after a few mins but cant figure out how
to get her not to run and hide behind me when someone
new comes to the house.
Kids shes fine with even when first meeting a new one
but adults not so good.
Never had to deal with this with a puppy before
I know puppy socialization classes will help but want
something that I can do daily with her.
Thought of taking her into town to do an afternoon walk
so she could meet new people that way
(plus it could double as getting her use to car rides)
But not sure if that is the safest way to go.
Any tips would be great
