    Aussie Puppy bark/growl at new people

    I have a 12 week old puppy that is so sweet to me and the people he is comfortable around, but he takes a long time to warm up to people.

    I have an 8 month old Australian Shepherd named Cosmo. He has very dry fur and skin, which we've been dealing with for most of his life.
