My dog is 2 and has suddenly taken to growling at other dogs when he (and they) are on the lead. Not all dogs, but enough to make me wary. Obviously, I need to keep him away when he is on the lead, but was just wondering if anyone had any insight to this behaviour and any ideas to stop it escalating?
My only thought is that, when we were walking a few weeks ago, we were startled by a huge aggressive dog in someone's front garden. My dog was on his lead and growled quite aggressively - nose wrinkled, teeth bared. This is the first and only time I've seen him to that. He is quite an anxious dog too.
He is fine with other dogs when off lead, although doesn't really like to play.
