Last night when my husband came home from work he also brought home a surprise. 18 month old Rogue, a black and silver(??) GSD. She came from a rescue and she had been papered but the shelter said they couldn't/wouldn't release her papers? Anyhow none of that matters to me, she's a gorgeous girl and settling in well but she's rather skittish with new people. She hid behind my husband for a couple hours before finally figuring out I wasn't going to hurt her, now she's laying next to me cuddling but when we go outside and she see's a new person she recoils. I'm betting she wasn't socialized...the question is will socialization help her to become more confident or is it to late?
It is very typical that the rescue dog you see on "day one" in your home will not be the dog you have one month later. In other words, once they begin to feel safe, they will often regain their confidence and their true personality will start to emerge. Focus now on providing structure, building a bond, and having fun together!
My wife and I are expecting early next year and our male dog Grendel has gotten obsessed with my wife. Sticks to her like glue.
We typically commute together so most days we obviously get home at the same time, and he’s been barreling out of the crate like it’s on fire to find her. He’ll knock...

What’s your opinion on dog parks? Do you guys have Any horror stories or have you only had good experiences?
The first time I brought kuru to a dog park was when she was 18 weeks old and it ended up easily being the worst decision of my life lol! At first it was all good, I had the whole thing...
