Yes its a sign of the times unfortuneatley, people have no respect for themselves or other people. What happened to the good old days when you stepped out of line, and your old man strightened you out when he got home.... I just don't understand how society can change so quickly.

Mat, would of advise about your pup, make sure you keep socialising him with other dogs as your young fella is still within his "secondary fear" period and the last thing you want is accidents like yesterday having a detrimental or lasting affect on him. I am still very conscious of making sure my young bitch has plenty of new positive experiences to build her confidence, last thing you want is a fearful pup.
