Hi,
Sorry I've not been around much lately, I'm really busy with my University work so I've just been reading the forum not posting much.
Tomorrow is my first trip to my vet's weekly "Puppy Party" and I'm really nervous about it. It's a free class and basically it's just to socialise your puppy with other people and their puppies, while learning useful tips on training, first aid etc. They also do a thing where you basically pass the puppy, and that way everyone gets to handle and be with a different dog.
I'm worried that Lexi will freak out though, as she is quite nervous when she's in close proximity to people she doesn't know. She sits down at my leg and shakes lol.
She's met other people and dogs sooo many times while out walking but I'm worried about lots of people, and bigger dogs being too rough. She's now 18 weeks and still really small, so I worry that she'll get snappy with the bigger dogs getting right in her face all excited.
Anyone got any tips on how to get through the first class as easy as possible?!
