Many of the dogs in our care are not very used to either people or dogs other then in their foster home. They are skittish, scared of new things. That’s why we decided to started small “socializing” groups of fosters and their dogs. Our fostermom Brenda was willing to lead the group. The purpose of these get togethers/pack walks is to let the dogs get used to ‘strange’ dogs, people, spaces and sounds by meeting a couple of times at different locations.
It turned out great!
When the first meeting started, all dogs were a bit shy but curious for the other dogs.
