First time poster, bit nervous!
I have an 8 month old jack Russell - poodle cross. She is a medium sized dog, about the same size as a springer spaniel. She’s also very clever and very fast. At home in the garden/field, at training and when we are out and there’s no one else around, her recall is excellent but as soon as she sees another dog she legs it to say hello. Nothing we have tried (treats, ball) is enticing enough to get her to come back. She also sometimes jumps up. She is getting better at not doing that but twice recently has nearly had elderly ladies over. I only let her off places that are well known dog walking areas and when I think it’s safe to do so, but she will cover a huge amount of ground very quickly if she sees another dog. How do we go from perfectly behaved when no ones around to well behaved when there are other people and dogs?
Also a bit of an AIBU - when people are walking in very wet, very muddy places that are popular with dog walkers AIBU to think that they’re idiots if they are in brand new, clean clothes?
