Andy, I had no idea that raising a working dog vs. a pet was that different. I just saw that he likes to play tug o' war and he searches for his toys burried in the snow. I thought that Sch would be a good sport (nothing majorly serious) for him to keep his mind busy. If it's that different, then I guess maybe I should be looking for a differant activity for him. Especially since he's still shy with new people. I was unable to propperly socialize him between the age of 5wks and now. I'm currently working with him on this, but I also still have to get him up to date with his last berdetalla and rabies shot before I feel comfortable about bringing him out in public. I bring him with me to friend's houses, but when we go back the next day it's back to being fearful. And part of me wonders if he's being shy or just being a booger and trying to play keep away from them. Sometimes he does his play bow, but he's always barking at them and then running away from them (usually to me or under a table). When he's onleash he pulls and barks at passerby's and growls at them (sometimes with his hackle raised).
