Hi,
Just wondered if any of you have the same problems with your Cav's.
Chester is a big softie when it comes to being around other dogs. He just sits there or lays down. He has been known to roll over & show his belly but most of time he looks like he's playing "stuck in the mud". He waits until the other dog has had a sniff & then follows them for a little sniff but as soon as they turn around, he stops dead again.
It has never really bothered me but last night there were 3 German Shepherds running around the fields and a little boxer, that had never met them before, came running over & they all just run around the field playing - like dogs should! Chester though, just wasnt interested. He sits down & wont shift until they have moved on.
I just want him to be as happy as he can be & just wondered if there is anything I can do to build his confidence up. He sees dogs everyday on his walk. The only dog I have ever known him to "stand up" when meeting is an even more calm/submissive Springer.
Thanks,
Kelly
