After a bit of a nightmare on Saturday with my 18 month old black lab chasing after and barking at a runner and then a cyclist before I could catch him and put him the lead, I am planning on the following, anything else I should do? :
Walk him in quieter places (I went to a local beauty spot thinking the rain would have put people off, but omg no, DoE groups, loads of cyclists, loads of joggers)
Be more vigilant when looking out for runners and cyclists so I can get him on the lead or hold him till they have gone past
Refresh recall training
He nearly always comes when he is called, and is very treat oriented. He is only playing when he chases and would not hurt them, and he loves brightly coloured moving targets, but of course they don't know that and his bark is loud and could be scary. He is very boisterous, and we are still trainng him not to jump up on people, but he appears to have regressed in this recently much to my frustration.
Any more tips gratefully received.
