I know what you mean!...It doesn't happen often but I have had people try to come up to Samson & pet on him & worse yet...kids who want to just throw there arms around the big fluffy teddy bear of a dog...I have found that putting my hand up & yelling STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! works & I don't care where we are either...lol..
.I then explain Samson & the proper way to not appraoch him...lol...Sa
mson had a bad start as far as socialization.
..His breeder raises dogs to work so they don't socilalize the pups at all..no petting..nothi
ng!...We didn't get him until 14 weeks so he was freaked!...I am gonna pat myself on the back & say I did well with him...I take him about everywhere with me weather permitting...M
y vet & Samson's 2nd trainer both said they can't believe he is the same dog as when I first got him!...I feel great about that!
