I have a year and a half old heeler x mini aussie. I got him at 3 months old and he very briefly had a previous owner, but was returned to the breeder from which I got him. I have socialized him with a variety of people and dogs and continue to do so. However, the problem is he is very fearful of people, even if he has met them before. He growls and hides, but will calm down (after 30mins) if the person ignores him.
Overall, does anyone have any tips on making my dog more comfortable around people?
