It must have been tense around other dogs so its a good thing to take him to parks to social and help him feel more comfortable. It is also normal that the other puppies bite and play around because that is how they learn how to be social. reminds me of my dog becasue he would always roll on its back when he sees other dogs. wow u wrote a lot..

Yours has a gentle nature its a lover not a fighter and tries extremely hard to make friends. At 4 months a very good thing. Suggest you find a few more Puppy Kindergarten Classes to take your baby to so that he learns how to read and understand puppy. Make sure they are friendly/positive situations. Soon he will begin to change approximately 6 months and will develop testosterone levels and that CAN change his attitude and make him more edgy. These early forays are important for that reason as he could become more selfconfident and pushy as he becomes a man. Hopefully not because thats when the trouble starts and they can get quite nippy. Your Instructor was pleased with his laid back attitude because most BCs have strong intimidating personalities and are holy terrors like his pushy brothers and sisters in his litter. Let him develop naturally at his own pace and expose him to as many positive confidence building experiences as possible Much of this will change somewhat as he ages Dont sweat it Okay submissiveness is NOT a bad thing especially with a Border Collie.

He plainly showed you his temperament b4 you got him. One on one dog play times would be better and ignore his submissive behavior dont talk to him walk off. He could very well be hurt or killed at a dog park as he is a natural target and dogswolves will get rid of non normal dogs. My parents had such a dog many yrs ago and she was almost killed b4 they placed her she never left the yard but neighbors dogs would come over to rip her up. Obed class can not hurt and when he is older possibly a smaller breed submissive female would help him.
