Bodhi, I'd have socialised a lot more. She is socially awkward with other dogs, sometimes reactive, sometimes playful, but mostly uninterested. Although, she was like that from a tiny puppy (more interested in people) so maybe its just her makeup. I'd have introduced her to more small children too, as they freak her out.
Fred's a puppy, so we're just trying to do the best we can! I'm slightly paranoid about the socialisation, which is difficult here as I live in a village with nothing. The nearest supermarket is an 18 mile round trip, and its not busy there.... I'll have to drive him an hour to get to a busy town. Lucky I know more people with other dogs and children that he can meet, but only now and then.
In terms of training, we're actually seeing a trainer, which I never did with Bodhi, so...
