As far as socialization goes. Thats a big deal for me. Reggin is maturing and getting to the point where he does NOT like people in my house that he does not know, ONLY when he is restrained in some way. He only gets nervous and starts growling when he is in his crate or I am holding him back by his collar.
Yesterday the pizza delivery lady came over. Just the baby gate was up on the front door. I immediately grab a hold of reggins collar while he is trying to pull me to the door, and he starts growling and woofing. My fiance turned around and said, let him go! I did, and he did A LOT better. Like he was more relaxed about the situation. I held him back because he likes to jump on people, but its starting to make him way nervous when I do that. SHAME ON ME. No more containing him and restricting him when people are over... it makes him think that something is wrong.
Because of his issues, I am going to start taking him to dairy queen to meet people like I used to do. To home depo, to the beach, and river where people are.
