The first time I took Cali (4.2 pounds) the the dog park I just sat with her in my lap and let her watch all the other pups until she made a move wanting to join them. Some came up and smelled and nosed her, but I did not push her and then when she decided to get involved that was it!
Cali thinks she is a big dog so that might have made a difference. She has always been the smallest dog in her obedience classes, but I think that helped socialize her too.
Hope it keeps getting better for her. Would love to hear she enjoys it there!
Be patient, but understand in the end it just may not be her "thing". |
