Boot fair !
Went to a local bootfair today, took Tank along with us. There were hundreds of ppl there , all good socialisation.
Anyway omg, couldn't walk for more than 2 mins before someone came over to fuss over 'the gorgeous blue staffy' !! It was crazy. Tank was loving the attention. Met a bout 10 different dogs too, Tank is so polite, has a sniff etc a cpl tried jumping o him, he wasn't phased.
Then we came across a blue n White 'staffy'. But I reckon he was about 20inchs tall, quite muscular, very angular head, over all not very staffy like ! The owners said he was 10mthd old and 'one of those long legged staffys!' had my doubts tbh.
All in all boot fairs are fab for getting ur pup used to crowds, after s while Tank wasn't interested in anyone that came over to him lol x

Re: Boot fair !
Good socialisations opportunity no doubt, but Loki would spend 95% of the time jumping in excitement, no doubt lol. Sounds like Tank was a really well-behaved dog, well done to you both

Re: Boot fair !
I reckon it's one if the best ways tbh..., think throwing them in the deepend.
95% of the ppl are focused on anything but ur pup and a pup can only stay in the super excited state for so long before burnout ! With so many ppl ignoring it's pretty ideal !
