Is Your Dog People Friendly?

Is your dog people friendly?  We are so blessed to have a dog that is super people friendly and super other dogs shy.  I know the shy dog thing may be an issue but we’re not super concerned.  It is really hard to take your dog traveling if they are scared of other people or vicious towards other dogs.  It’s so important to have your dogs around other people and dogs to that you can have a fun and enjoyable time traveling.

If your dog it not a people or other dog dog, perhaps look into getting some training done.  Also maybe invite people to your house or take your dog when you visit a friend just so that he/she can get used to being around strangers.  Remember to acclimate them slowly and be sure to take them to your patient, non intense friends.  You don’t want this experience to be the opposite effect and have your dogs be even more scared of people.

Dog trainers are very experienced to teaching your dog to love others.  If your dog is already mellow, this will be an easy process.  If they are not, though it will take time, remember the end goal…being able to take your dog with you when you travel!  It’s a win-win for you and your pup!
