For socialization would something like doggie daycare be good?
We have a place like that in the shopping center right next to my hous.

I have read where they say they do try and be the Alpha and you have to be strong and firm with them so they know your the alpha not them.

I want him to be social as I have a cat, my bp and when I visit my sister she has to cockers and I want them all to get along.

Any and all advice is appreciated
