    Hello! I am new to the group and wanted to say hi! I have a 6 month old yellow lab named Jake. He's been a bit of a handful lately as I've been dealing with some reactivity and mild fear aggression with other dogs. I'm sure I'm not alone in having an under socialized puppy because of Covid lockdown :( I'm meeting with a behaviorist next week, but hoping to hear some success stories from people in similar situations. I'm completely stressed and just want to know if others have come through similar situations with positive outcomes. Thanks for listening and for letting me join your lovely group ❤️

    Hi Vampiremom and Jake, welcome to the forum!

    The pandemic has scuppered a lot of carefully made plans, but it's great that you're being proactive about helping Jake overcome his fears.

    In the meantime, this article by Pippa about socialising older dogs might be helpful to you.

    Good luck, and do come back and let us know how you're getting on!
