Do you know someone with a smaller dog that you could set up a play date with? This works really well for socialization. Now we get my niece's dog (Shih Tzu, Schnauzer, Poodle mix), my sister-in-laws Long Haired Chihuahua, and this other Deer-Chihuahua together on Sundays for puppy play date. Then my girlfriend takes Pebbles to her house on Saturdays when I have to work to play with her Bulldog. Not to mention my house-full of pets... a Border Collie, and two cats. And then I have small children who have friends over so she does great with kids as well.
Another thing that might work is do a puppy class. They always get play time at the end of class to play with the other puppies. It would be a little more controlled environment than the dog park. I would be worried about the bigger dogs with your little baby. |
