If you have ever spoken these words to a canine friend, you aren’t seeing it from their perspective as they seem to go barking mad as it floats through the sky. While watching a new friend this past week, I was shocked when I saw him race across the yard in a very defensive mode and barking for the first time…

New experiences with the pet friends are always a unique endeavor. They rarely act the same way as when you or their parents see them and those that tend to be skittish around strangers or a bit insecure with new situations it can take time for them to warm up to the idea of someone new being in their space.
