Bo is a good boy. He's about 10 months old now and we've had him for about 5 months. He's a Dobie/Rotti mix and he's probably about 60-70 lbs now. He's great on a leash, he's great at home, he AWESOME with all of us (his family) but he's not very nice at all to strangers. My son was walking him near a creek the other day and a man wanted to pet him. My son told him that he should just leave him alone because he's not too friendly with strangers. The man called him over anyway and Bo snapped at the man's hand. I guess if that's all he did, I should be grateful. Bo's not vicious, but he cold probably do some damage if he chose to. He CLEARLY doesn't like anyone but us. Even when we have guests over, I have to either hold him or put him in the garage.
So, how can I get him to "meet" people without wanting to tear into them?
