| Anti-social pup is giving me the blues!!! Hi Everyone!!! I need some advice or first-hand experience My 3 year old pup loves people but he really really is afraid of dogs any bigger than he is (pretty much everyday around!) But instead of putting his tail between his legs he will bark at any dog that comes near him after a few sniffs. He's fine in a dog park (just wanders around by himself) unless a dog tries to play with him then he'll bark, almost in a scare a little higher pitched "get away from me" bark. He doesn't go after other dogs... he just makes sure they stay away from him. Smaller dogs are okay (under 5 pounds) and familiar dogs are fine. What could be the problem here and how might I fix it? A big, huge THANK YOU in advance

| Thanks for the input. He really is fine at a dog park- he's been about twice a month for a year. He just follows me around and sits next to me. He's not interested in playing or other dogs. If they come to him he's fine for about 5 second of sniffing and then he barks like he's scared-- as if to say "AH go away NOW I don't like you!" It's not a mean, low bark and it's not a playful bark... Again, any suggestions are appreciated
