And I can tell a very big difference in confidence levels between him and and first dog Hunter. We took hunter everywhere with us and had him around all sorts of people dogs and situations. But since our new dog Royal wasn't socialized as much he has some of the strangest phobias like black office chairs and gold fish. He takes a while to warm up to strangers both dog and human. I was always told how important it was to socialize them early but we thought we could catch up on that with Royal when our lives settle down a bit. We were so wrong. Well we know better now that's for sure. Love your site. Brian I wasn’t able to socialize my beagle much when we first got him.
