| Shy ?
I have been trying to socialize Kole , he is fine with people, but when it comes to other dogs he is very shy/ timid and will hide behind me or shreek ,cry and run ,if off leash , like today, I took his min-pin brother and him for a walk, a dog training park/walk, A very friendly male pit and tiny pit puppy came running towards us, My min pin went hell bound after them and poor Kole, ran away yelping like someone was about to murder him.. I felt so bad for him, and the owner kept apologizing to me, for his dogs approaching us,,
I just said"it was fine. And I kept walking so Kole would follow me away from the scene.. Dont know if thats what I should do or what...
Now my question...
What would be the best way to handle this so Kole will get used to other dogs without me forcing him into a situation that may traumatize him forever..
Should I keep trying or just keep him away from other dogs?
Thanks for any advice and OP. I have never dealt with this before . |
