if we meet them again. she screamed with terror when meeting the big husky like dog in the park.
shehas met very few dogs, is 15 weeks, and there just dont seem to be any about.
there was one place we went th other weekend full of dogs on leads but i thought socialisation woudl rpobably be easier off the lead.
but she had a bad experience yesterday with a bigger bouncier dog.

i dont want her to be scared.

Is she going to puppy training? Our puppy is a couple of weeks older than yours and was initially terrified of other dogs. She is getting so much better in just the last week and now wants to jump on their heads!
I think puppy training has helped as she is in the company of other dogs. Plus some gentle on lead introductions when just walking round the streets. The good thing with this is the owners with not so friendly dogs keep away. Every time she sniffed another dog we clicked and gave her a nice treat.

I have a feeling though lots of the increased confidence is to do with her getting a bit older.

A few weeks ago i was convinced she would always hate other dogs, now we have trouble keeping her away!
