So me and my dog go out walking alot and only when there are no other dogs i let him off beause otherwise he a) gets far to excited and over playful which some people see as him attacking and b) he jumps on people.
We havent had him long and he we are training him to be better and cope better in various situations.
I put mydog on his lead/leash everytime a dog passes just incase he tries to jump etc.
I get particularly annoyed at dog walkers who look down on us and our dog because he goes nuts around Their dog who is typicall not on its lead.
Hes not a bad dog just a young dog.
What is dog walking etiquette when you see Other dogs and yours is off lead?
On another note i find it pig ignorant dog walkers / people who feel the need to cross the road because a staffy if coming their direction. i noticrd one lady who crossed but when another dig was on her path she never crossed back. My poor pups gonna get a complex.
