The other day I actually tried doin the submissive postions, he struggled to get out of my arms and my friends begged me to put him in his pen. I hope things will get better. I know he is probaby scared being that we are in a new place and not used to seeing so much people. Once again thanks everyone for the advice.

You may want to try inviting just one or two fake 'visitors' who are willing to help you train him. Have them come in for just a brief 'visit' while you control him down on the floor(use harness and leash if it gives you a better grip), as soon as he calms, even briefly, have them leave quickly and then give him a break for a few minutes and then have them 'visit' again. The food treat at the door(I use cheerios) is an excellent suggestion, but it might take awhile 'til he is at that point. My e-mail address is
