Dog barked at our puppy today making him cry 😢 should we of said anything to owner

[Treehouse00]

Hi we took our 3 month old puppy to get his nails cut today, our puppy was on a lead & other dog (Collie) was on an extendable lead with his owner. When we walked in the Collie barked in our puppies face making him cry & run away. So should the owner of the Collie of said sorry? Should we have said anything to owner (we didn’t as we didn’t want to cause a scene over a dog barking making our puppy scared).

@Zarataralara what rubbish!!! Pack theory was disproved decades ago!!
It is rubbish!
Even the person who came up with the theory of the pack says it's rubbish!

Is this a canine pfb 🤦‍♀️

I've now got images of that pampered dog that was in all creatures great and small many years ago 😂

Tricki Woo.

🤣🤣🤣

This made me laugh! Now the PFBs are dogs. Thanks for making me smile!

Good luck OP apologising every time your dog barks at other dogs when it's a few weeks older. And good luck teaching your dog how to bark apologetically just in case it offends.

Aww I’m sure your little puppy will be fine and one day be doing the same

Adult cats whack kittens on their head to show dominance and hiss they are far more aggressive

Oh what twee shite op!!!

You can get a lead that says please don't bark at me I'm a pfb.

Oh op ....🥺

To the people who seem shocked that a puppy needs its claws clipped- I have always clipped my dogs claws once a week, right from when they come home at 8 weeks. Even if it’s just a tiny trim, it gets them used to having it done regularly, and gets them in a routine of being handled/checked over. Some dogs may not need theirs doing very often, but I hate seeing so many dogs with really long claws. Long claws will split and break more easily, and cause discomfort that can lead to joint issues.
Sorry to go off topic, but it’s a real bugbear of mine!
Hope your puppy gets over it’s fright 😀

😂 subtle. I like it 👍

Do you cut up his food in small manageable pieces too?

What have I read??

Ignore the p* takers. There's nothing wrong with your enquiry.

Anyone up for a bet on the PFP’s breed?
My money is on:

• something handbag sized and unsocialised
• a “designer breed” (mongrel)
• something brachycephalic

They are perfectly safe if (big if) you use them properly. Sorry, but I have to disagree. Extendable leads give the dog freedom to run further away from you (which is a problem if you are not paying attention or your dog does something unexpected) and you cant get them back as easily as on a static lead. Have also seen them jerk out of hands, rewind themselves and frighten the dog because something is now running after them.

The dog in question is a collie, remember.

Collies are specifically bred for their recall. I’ve yet to meet a collie who doesn’t have excellent recall, to be honest. It’s not even something we taught ours - she just did it.

Collies are generally not satisfied with an on-lead walk. They are bred to run free on hilly terrain all day.

Arguably, collies don’t do well in urban environments unless they have an owner who is able to give them the exercise they need. Which doesn’t involve ambling alongside a human.

You've got such a lot to learn.

Please don't turn your dog into a special princess/(prince).
