Schatzie is pretty much unsociable in public. During our vet visits she is quite content sitting in her doggie purse. I wont even zip the purse thinking she might want to come out and visit but nope, no way! Which, actually I am glad. I personally would rather her stay in her purse then to walk around, sniffing and such just because vet's offices just as doctor's offices for humans are filled with ill pets or humans.
Once she is on the vet table she stays very calm and allows the vet to do whatever he pleases. She just want's her visit to hurry up so she can go back home.
The other day at Petsmart I placed her purse in the shopping cart and again she just sits there and looks around.
If people look at her and talk to her she acually looks the other way or lays down in her purse thinking people can't see her, it's quite comical really. I just tell people, "she's shy".
