The cheerful, noisy meetings with our friends and relatives do not always represent the ideal condition for our 4-legged friends can live with such situations with anxiety and fear.

Moreover, it is said that the dog loves to spend the day in the midst of strangers or active children. If Fido takes refuge under the table do not try to flush him out or allow children to join them pet it. This behavior is trying to communicate his discomfort and fear. If you insist on forcing a contact could become aggressive.
