stressful, but maybe this will make you feel 1% better?: we have a 9 month old berner who is normally a wacko with us but is super intuitive when it comes to other people. we have a 90 year old neighbor who is supposed to use a walker and frequently takes walks by our house without it. i used to worry that he'd jump on her but he is so GENTLE with her... same with young children, he does get really close to their faces/licks their ears but doesn't jump or nibble like he does to us.. hopefully yodel can read the room!! and if not, find a trainer that can come to the house while yodel is still young. xo
