On her first visit to the vet she fell asleep mid-examination...
But will be keeping it up. Currently only things that she's really shown fear with are weird things like walking down a slight incline or some corridors.
But having been reading up on dog development stuff I'm sure it won't always be easy.
Am aware she's not really teething properly yet which I suspect will be hard.
Also need to get her to stop jumping up at people with excitement - which is difficult because so many people want to say hello to her and encourage it. Obviously it's cute when she's this size but it won't stay that way.
She has done a great job of helping kids with fear of dogs though. Has won over a number of quite nervous children.
Though six year old's version of dog training is pretty useless.
Haven't done train or bus yet come to think of it - should probably see how that goes.

Otto was the same but when he was about three years old he suddenly started getting so scared of the vet he'd shake so violently he'll become hyperthermic and throw up. Almost as if he went there once and left without his balls.
Otto loves the train and bus...warm and full of nice old ladies to pet him!

Sounds like you guys are smashing it. But whatever you do just keep the socialisation efforts going for as long as you can! Buses, trains, cars etc etc. Take him to the vet and give him a treat every time you pass, just to get him used to it. Every social experience now really pays dividends down the line.
