He is generally friendly and comfortable meeting new people — including children — when he’s out of the house, but he becomes much more cautious when unfamiliar people approach his home. Indy is smart, observant, and always wants to understand what’s happening around him. He thrives with routines, clear expectations, and patient introductions. With continued work on confidence-building and positive associations, he is learning that new people don’t have to be scary.
