[quote=Anonymous]A dog that cannot handle being around people should not be around people. When you choose to get a dog you have a responsibility to train it. Some dogs will remain skittish no matter what you do but if you bring out to a public space it is your obligation to protect people and not expect people to conform to your dog’s needs. I have a dog and a super cute one so always a people magnet. We did the 20 week socialization program where we exposed her to crowds, noises, water, traffic, city streets and playgrounds. She’s social but I still go through protecting kids who want to pet and protect her from over enthusiastic petting or rambunctious dogs. If my dog snapped at kids or other dogs and training didn’t mitigate it-she would not be out in public spaces.[/quote]
