Greetings:
I'm not exactly a Cav owner. My son and daughter in law own a year old Cav. They also have a 2 month old baby girl. I have "minded" Winston several times, including this past week for about 8 days. Here is my issue/question: I love the dog, as does my wife, and the dog loves us, obsessively. But he seems to hate everybody else. When we walk he barks at all dogs, kids and adults. Anyone who comes near him. He makes life miserable for anyone that comes near him. (except us) Where do I start to help him and my son and daughter in law as well? They know he isn't "socialized", having lived in a city on the 3rd floor and not having been exposed to normal stuff and people and dogs. I am concerned that he will not enjoy all the things that dogs normally experience, and of course, they can't take him anywhere, and now have to lock him in a room when visitors arrive. I know this is a long story. Just trying to help. Thanks.
