Hi, So I have a 6mth King Charles Cavalier, and my niece is staying with my parents along with her mum, dad and brother, for a week very soon. The last time I saw her, was pre-puppy, and we went for a walk in the park. There were dogs about 5metres away from her, on leads, and she was screaming and literally trying to climb up her father (my brother). I am dreading the visit. My dog goes everywhere with me and I'm worried that she is scared of the puppy and I'm not allowed to take him with me when we go out. My puppy is small, very well behaved, quiet and not aggressive in the slightest, it I understand that her fear is all-consuming and irrational. Because I don't see my brothers family that often, I plan to see them a lot ( probs everyday) when they are staying, but really worried about how I should approach this. My puppy is around my other young nephews and nieces a lot and they get on really well. He has been well socialised with children, so I am in now way worried about his behaviour.
Any advice would be great!!!
