Angela,
I 99% of the time do not allow Cody to interact with other dogs in training/class. In dog shows -ABSOLUTELY not. He has to be focused on me, not on the other dog that seems more fun than mommy. No way!
AFter training sometimes we let the dogs socialize but during training and before training, never! Sometimes the socializing is good, so they learn how to interact among each other and are maybe more relaxed this way, but before training and during a class or at shows -NO WAY!
