A bunch of puppies doesnt teach each other much after about 8 weeks, JMO.

I just took him to see the one stable adult doggy friend that I know and he was all wags and face licking, so thats a BIG weight off my shoulders. Maybe he wasn't so traumatized after all. I have another playdate scheduled tomorrow with a different dog I know (but Navarro doesn't) so hopefully that goes well. This is great advice. No more doggy parks for us.
