Brownie is a shy little guy but warms up with a little time and care.
He was a very nervous boy at each new thing we did but once he was showed that it's ok, he was great! He just needs lots of confidence building for sure.
He does seem to like dogs more than people. The few others that we saw, he got very pouncey/playful and wanted so badly to meet a new bestie. Although I didn't let him actually meet any. He did warm up to people but still was a bit jumpy.
He's great on the leash and can easily be directed where to go. Very gentle and liked to be close. Treat motivated.
He can be very bouncy so might scare small children.
