Story
Finn will be 2 years old in January. We received him as an 8 week old puppy from someone who was giving away a litter of pups. He has been an indoor pet ever since. Finn is an intelligent dog and caught on to house training and basic commands very quickly. However, Finn is also a very anxious and nervous pup. He does not like strangers and we have had some behavioral issues with him in this regard. He is very hard to handle when strangers are around and has growled/snapped if they get too close. Finn does not need to be around small children because of this. He has always been fine with my own kids, but recent behavior has made me wary and worried.
