Anyone want to interpret this?

My 10 week old GSD saw the neighbor coming over this afternoon. From maybe 40 yards away. She's rather large and was talking as she approached. The pup moved toward her about 6 feet and barked. As the lady continued her approach, he came over to me where I put a arm around him.

I had the lady stop approaching to let the pup chill. The lady then surprised my by laying on the grass, which of course the pup loved and ran over to her.

I figure I should better socialize this guy quickly. I don't need him to grow more defensive, right?

Thanks very much for any opinions on this.
