Bentley is a "work in progress" dog when it comes to strangers. He'll often show fear around new people, but we are already seeing good progress. We are fortunate to have a positive-reinforcement trainer working alongside, to show us how to help Bentley with his interactions. He's a dog that you need to love patiently when first meeting, giving him the time and space to let him get to know you first. Once he does, he's a complete love bug. Bentley loves snuggles and affection. If you're looking for a dog to sit by you while you work, or cuddle up on your lap for some relaxing T.V. time, This is the guy! He also does very well with other dogs and loves to play.
