Celia: we have had a Labradoodle (Cosmo) for about 6 months. He was initially very timid, and not socialized very well. We started taking him to Wolfeboro, to O'Brien's Pet Supply on Bay Road, owned by Jim O'Brien who is the K9 officer in Wolfeboro. On Saturday mornings from 10-11:30, he has a dog socialization period - it costs $5 - and Jim is always there, and works with the different dogs. We have also taken Cosmo to 2 obedience classes with Jim, and next will be the Canine Good Citizen - which I never thought would be possible. It has helped tremendously. I know that going to Wolfeboro on a Saturday AM is not ideal for you, even in the summer, but I cannot praise Jim enough. Maybe there is something down near you that you can find for Bailey. If not, come good weather, boat on over to WB-we can even pick you up at the dock, if you'd like.
