Fair~~an unusal happening
I socialized socialized socialized my puppy (who I got at 12 weeks old)
with obedience classes out the wazoo and visits Everywhere and vacations
Everywhere up through two and a half to three years old- he was happier out as
a pup, however, he became more protective and reserved as he got older and so
I stopped taking him out as much because he really never warmed up fully and
in fact became snappish on occasion - he became what I think of as true to his
breed and probably from more working lines. I highly encourage folks to
socialize through the age of three constantly, but be aware, some dogs really
will never warm up and be the happy tail waggers that others are in public-
and that's okay :)- Ame

Tracy,
You are right. I have one Pyr who went
to all the classes starting with
Puppy Kindergarten and she is the
biggest social butterfly there is. She is
wonderful with everyone
and everything. From the beginning I could take her
anywhere and
the only problem is she throws up all over my van...car
sickness.
(So much for shows).lol
I have another that only got 3 Puppy Kindy
classes and she is a lot more
reserved around other people and
dogs. She is very careful before she will
go to anyone and then
stays on guard.
To me, the classes made all the
difference.
