Our other dog was a different story we couldn't take him out because he had a problem with other dogs. He loved kids, people, parties, 4th of July, etc. LOL. One time he got in a fight with a Mastiff, always had to be the alfa dog. We always took him camping with us, but never did we take him to dog friendly places.
I have a dog with fear issues. She's doing really good, but I warn folks to keep their distance and not crowd her. I've seen that look of fear on their faces and have a hard time with it.

I really love the times we run into a dog-knowledgable person who is willing to help Batdog see the positives to new people.
