We usually go walking in our local park and we meet a lot of dogs, the majority are off their leads. We tend to keep Odie on his lead because he likes to say hello to all of the dogs !
But we have started to notice that when we do stop to say hello the other dogs, male or female, they become agressive towards Odie by either growling or maybe a little snap. Odie turned one on the 16th March and is still very submissive to these dogs that he meets.
This evening when I was out walking we met a dog that we have seen before, it was the usual story Odie lying on his back wagging his tail. The owners of the other dog were beside me and we were just smiling at each other thinking the dogs were just saying hello. I started to try to walk away, but the other dog was standing over Odie. As I tried to move the other dog stayed over Odie. Then we started to hear growling. They were saying 'Is that our dog?' and I replied YES ! The other dog started to get more agressive so I swung Odie up into my arms by his harness as I did not want to put my hand near the other dog. The dog kinda jumped after Odie but did not touch him and the owner hit his dog with the lead to stop him. They apologised and off we went.
This was the worst instance so far. Just wondering if anyone experienced this before, whereby your dog seems to aggitate other dogs !? He has even been snapped at by another Cav!
Thanks
