Re: Behaviour question, should I be concerned?
Yup good idea to go to playground area, not that close but where she can sit and watch them and when you see her get comfortable and relaxed praise her and start moving forward. Find a child that you know will be gentle and have them hold a treat in there hand and let her go and get it and praise her.
Socialize, socialize, socialize, Jesse goes out every single day and socializes to new people and new places. We did hit a snag last week when a grandfather was in the park with is grandchild on his shoulder (two headed monster to Jesse) so I had the man help me get Jesse over his fear of them, with treats and showing Jesse nothing to fear I walked up to them, shook grandfather's hand, and child's hand and talking to them while Jesse watch from a distance he eventually came over to investigation, then was ok so I praised him at that point.
