I was super lucky in that my little guy was never shy. He has been around people since he was tiny as I am constantly having people over. I guess he takes after his pappy in that we are both social. In fact, I put a beware of dog sign up, not because Lick is mean, but because he will attack them with kisses and constant attention until they pet him.
Kids he is skittish around at first, but once they pet him gently he is fine.
Animals on the other hand, he usually takes a submissive position to bigger dogs. With smaller dogs he goes crazy and jumps around so much he scares them. I am trying to train him to be calm, but he just goes nuts every time.
