[Vinniedoggy]

Wow, thanks. Another interesting point you raise is not letting people who are fearful of him give him treats. Whenever someone is really brave with Vinnie (usually other owners of small dogs and even kids), he doesn't react. I don't let kids ever play with Vinnie (too scared that he might accidently nip at them), but if one approaches too quickly for me to stop them and doesn't show any fear (usually kids who have dogs themselves), Vinnie does nothing. At the vets and groomers Vinnie is fine. He's especially fine as soon as I leave. The groomer told me that Vinnie is one of the best dogs she has and that, as soon as I leave, he lets her do just about anything to him.
