We took him to my son's birthday party with 12 screaming boys in a private room. He just watched and sniffed around. Even my sister in law who's a vet said he was doing amazing....so now I want to know what to look for so i nip stuff in the bud!
Socialize the stuffing out of him and socialize more.
Make sure that nothing over whelms him.
Then find a nice gentle training course and put first level obedience on him
Read Click for Joy by Melissa C Alexander. I always say read On Talking Terms With Dogs: Calming Signals By Turid Rugaas. You be amazed at what you will understand after this book.
Then maybe after those two. The Other End of the Leash : Why We Do What We Do Around Dogs By Patricia B McConnell PH.D.
These are just good general knowledge book.
