[quote=Anonymous]Well…..
I have raised dogs before, taken them to training, trained them myself etc etc. My dogs were not perfect, but very well behaved.

Then, I got a dog during the pandemic.  I tried to enroll in puppy classes, but there were only online classes.

Whenever I walked him, every time I saw a person, I would cross the street because that is what we did during the pandemic.  See a dog or person coming, cross the street.

Guess what I did inadvertently?

I trained my dog to be afraid of people and dogs.

He is on medicine, I have paid thousands of dollars for training and he is a little better.

NOW, I no longer take him for neighborhood walks.  He is on leash in the yard and I take him in the woods behind our house on leash, that is all.

He can’t handle it because during his socialization sensitive period, I wasn’t able to socialize him.

Is it my fault?  Yes

Am I taking responsibility? Yes

Do I think I was irresponsible? No. My mom lives with my husband two kids and me, we needed to keep safe. 
We all got through without COVID. The dog behavior was the causality, but it is something we are living with. [/quote]
