I have two twelve week olds, I do everything with them separately as much as I can, when we are out walking and meet another dog they are really frightened, they are due to start puppy class next week and I am worried how they will react to the other puppies (it is only a small class), my son is the only one we know with dogs and he is visiting shortly so that may help....any tips, thanks

Kiki used to literally scream if another dog came towards her when we were out... didn't last long, I kept taking her out and she soon made friends (she particularly likes the people and hides under their legs if their dog gets a bit boisterous...) She also used to panic if we went past a house, garden or car that had a barking dog in it - but as Lumpy says time, praise and treats got us over that one.
Take them out lots and keep calm yourself, don't pick them up if they start acting up when you encounter other dogs - that can make other dogs keener to get at them, better the puppies learn to submit on the ground and discover that all the other dog wants to do is have a good old sniff...
