Graeme Hall explains why ‘socialisation’ doesn’t necessarily mean letting your dog run up to every other dog they see... it’s actually more about getting your dog to be calm – almost indifferent – around other dogs. He also helps listeners with opposite problems – one whose dog is fearful around other dogs, and one who can’t wait to excitedly bound up to them. Plus, why is it never ok to shout across the field “it’s ok, he’s friendly!”
