Well, it has come the time where I need to up the socialising with my collie puppy Azlan, so I decided to take him to the markets where there would be crowds and loud music. I expected to have to stay a bit away and slowly work him in at his comfort level, but he just charged in there!
We had to stop at nearly EVERY SINGLE PERSON so that he could go up and sit politely in front of them with a "pat me I'm cute" look on his face. When we did some training he did it all in a huff, I could almost hear him saying "Hurry up, my people need me! Look, they all want to pat me!".
I didn't even get to look at anything because either Azlan kept insisting on meeting more people or more people insisted on stopping me and meeting him!
Of course there were numerous "Look it's lassie", or "It's a lassie dog" and so many people said "Oh, isn't she gorgeous". Lol, Azzie is to pretty to be a male, some people say.
So, when I had to drag him away from his adoring fans he became upset and was actually crying.
