Whenever we encounter doggies at the park, any sex/ age/ size, Eddy just gets all submissive and rolls over for them or hides behind my legs. And the other dogs do the opposite: they want to to sniff casually/calmly, or they want to do the pounce-play, or they're wrenching with all their strength against their leashes and barking madly to get a closer look, or they're perked-ears, sitting, patiently, observing him... Etc etc. It doesn't matter what the dog is or does, Eddy just rolls over or hides.

It's weird to me because he's met so many dogs (like 10-15 multiple times or individually) in the past few weeks living with me. He's pretty straight-forward and physical with me and Mike, never showing signs of fear, timidness, or shyness. Just like with my past pups, when he encounters dogs, I ruffle his fur and say "Good boy!" and pet the other dog - "See? It's so nice and fun!" - but still, it doesn't give him confidence to smell the dog or play or anything!

I know the answer is puppy kindergarten, which we are in the process of his first vet exam and then enrollment. But I'm worried he's just going to roll over for his classmates in class!
