I have one friend with a dog who I'm trying to see if I can borrow tomorrow for the day.

I see that now. I don't really want to go back but I want to to get him over this trauma.

Are you planning on taking Navarro to puppy kindergarten? Even if you can't do a series of classes, lots of training centers or dog daycares will do inexpensive "puppy social hours" where he could meet dogs his age (and be in the presence of more mindful owners). |
Thanks for the daycare suggestion. My vet office does doggy daycare. Maybe I'll give them a call and see if he can go there for a few days.
