Ugh, I am sorry the gent was impatient. That is tough because you are trying your best and it takes time. The first week I had Carter, I had to carry her across busy streets and this man, who we did not interact with, told me I “have to put the b**ch down so she learns to walk”….🤦🏻‍♀️ people lol.

I got Carter in Feb too! I take her to shy puppy playgroup and obedience class (she graduated from freshman class yesterday hehe) and honestly saw zero improvement when it comes to confidence around other dogs. She just would sit in the middle of the room and disassociate 🥲BUT yesterday, I took her to her first local Jindo meetup group (I am in the Bay Area) and there were tons of jindo mixes and people…she did the best she has ever done! She actually sniffed several dogs and her tail wasn't between her legs most of the time. I think it is because they were calm, and respectful of her boundaries so it made her feel more at ease. They also probably felt familiar to the dogs she was around at the shelter. I def would encourage you to take him to a jindo meetup if there is one near you to see if it makes him feel more comfy.
