I grew up taking having a lot of pets at home. Cats, dogs, birds, fish and rodents. I have years of experience being a doggy sitter. Some years ago I worked in California for a time at a doggy daycamp where dogs would come to play together and socialize. I have experience with taking care of animals that are rescued or new to being around people. If your dog is fearful of people, this is no problem. My wife and I have helped fearful dogs learn go out and use stairs, escalator and public transport and go to shopping centers if they are and new to this. We are patient and have a understanding whe dogs are showing fear vs aggression.
