Question:
Socialise your dog off the lead as much as possible. This is getting easier and easier, with more safe, off-lead parks being made available.
Answer:
Dogs can’t interact with each other the way they like to when they’re on a lead and even really placid dogs can get over-excited if they can’t engage with a new friend the way they like to.
If dogs are allowed to do their thing in a safe, controlled environment as often as possible, then they’ll generally be much more responsive when you need them to be. Melanie, Armidale.
