So I have a 4 month old cocker spaniel/lab mix who is afraid of all other dogs. When I adopted him at 2 months he had parvo and spent week in the vet hospital, because he had parvo I was advised to try and keep him away from other pets for a month.
He just started puppy training and socialization classes last week and I have started taking him to a local dog park once a week too. He is afraid of both little and big dogs and runs from them, he hid during his first puppy day care but after a bit there he started to warm up and came out but didn't really want to play with the other puppies.
What else can I do to socialize him more so he isn't so scared? my trainer said it will just take time for him to warm up in puppy day care because he is intimidated and nervous about other dogs, am i doing everything i can do?
I don't have any friends with dogs so I can't bring him around them. He will get better right?
