We started taking Fabian to public places as soon as he got the OK to go outside. We went to places like farmers markets that have a broad cross-section of sizes, shapes, colors, and ages. There were also lots of other dogs there. We also took him on the local walking/hiking trails. He's very social and tries to kiss everyone he meets, human or dog. We've only gone to the dog park a few times and never took a puppy class because he took so well to the other stuff. If he was still strange, I'd definitely sign him up for a class. |
