Baxter went to PetsMart training too. He just recently went-he was 1 1/2. He too wasn't normally shy, but when we went into that class, he was a big baby. I think it has to do with how he was socialized-not very well I don't think. He learned a lot though. There were a few things that he didn't pick up until AFTER we were finished with the class and I worked with him at home. He does LOVE to go in the car now though. Every Saturday we left around 10:30 and he KNEW where we were going. It was funny. When I got up, he would run to the bathroom (he got a bath every morning at the same time on Saturday). And around 10:30 he would run to the door. Then when we went outside, he would go potty and run to the car door. It was cute.
Anyway, I think he will come out of it. It's a little intimidating at first-that was the first class, and lots of bigger dogs. |
