I understand your fear. My Momiji is so tiny that she never see anyone smaller than her.
She was afraid at first (in the class, I mean), she hide between people's feet (because she knows it is safe!!) but she learned they are not going to hurt her. There was this one dog, mixed breed/medium size dog, she was soooo sweet. She get down so Momiji can kiss her or climb on to her!!!
She was so gentle with her but other larger dogs weren't so interested in playing with Momiji.
Now she is almost a year old and she loves other dogs.
I highly recommend you to try either socialization class or puppy happy hour (I don't know you can find happy hour in your area but SF there are few!!)
We as a dog owner have responsiblity to train our dog and I think it includes our dog's social skill.
Good luck with your baby!! |
