| Stranger Danger! Lol. I recently adopted a one year old YT. Avery is such a sweetie and well-behaved 99% of the time. But, for some reason he goes NUTS for strangers! Pet stores are the WORST b/c children want to run up and grab him. Basically he will tug his leash and jump around to meet any stranger. Occasionally, I go ahead and let the person/child pet him, but he'll continue to crazily jump all over them! Do you think he wasn't well socialized by his previous parent? What can I do to calm him down? Thanks for any insight you can provide! |

| Stranger Danger. lol Well, I'm not sure...You could try to teach him to calm down by just saying "Calm" or something in a stern but nice voice. Never ANGRY> Of course, I wouldn't think of it being a bad, bad thing at least he's not attacking strangers randomly.
