I need to know about the temperament/behavior of the dugs I am babysitting. It is important to know if dogs are usually shy at first, or if they are excited to meet new people. Usually when I meet dogs, I bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm right off the bat to build a connection; shy dogs don't tend to like this approach as much.
