I don't know if you drive through car washes, Becky, but I've taken Dougal from puppyhood without an incident. When the water and sounds began, I didn't make a fuss, just said "look at that..." And just sat calmly letting him look around. A lot of situations, if you're calm and act as if it's no big deal, that's how they'll relate to it! Have fun, and get used to being stopped everywhere you go as people will want to love on him! Lol

<p>If only more people took as much care training their dogs as you do and show the love you obviously have for your boy there would not be rescue groups only for dogs orphaned by there humans death,, ( even then arrangement would have been made in advance).

<p>Hi Becky, socialising is very very important and Dash will love it! :)</p>
<p>It looks as you think about everything with lot of care, well done! One tip that may help you in future: when Oberon was a puppy we introduced him to the hair drier. What i did was to leave one hairdrier on, on the floor, at the center of the room. We all sat on the floor saying "what's that, what's that ";) and eventually, after a few days, Oberon went closer and closer and did a good sniff at that noisy and…</p>
