We have a 16 week Catahoula Leopard Mix (male, rescue). He was good around my parents dogs, but recently while leaving our apartment for a potty break, a poorly trained dog with came barreling at him dragging the owner by the leash. After that interaction scared the pee out of him, now he’s scared of other dogs.
Any tips on how to help him get comfortable around other dogs? Our apartment complex has a private dog park and a lot of our neighbors have dogs, but I don’t want to bring him to the park without knowing the temperaments of the other dogs in there. We don’t have any friends/family nearby with dogs. I’m also wondering if it’s weird to bring him to a half-day doggie daycare even if we’re at home and don’t necessarily need a daycare.
FYI – He has all his vaccinations except for one lepto booster that hes getting at the end of the month (not sure if this means he’s fully vaccinated now, or if he needs to wait for the booster to be considered fully vaxed)
