We're working on outdoor potty training and for the most part, it's going ok considering Dexter has only been with us for 5 days. One problem we have is when we go outside and the neighbors' dogs are out. There is a lab that is catty corner to us that is friendly but barks when he sees us. Same thing next door. There is a another lab that is quiet until his buddy, a coon hound, gets to barking. All of these big scary barks literally make Dexter run for the hills. I try to avoid going out when I see those dogs out there as I don't want him to be scared of the outdoors but sometimes when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Any suggestions to help Dexter ease his fears?
