He never used to be like that when he was younger...he was always a bit shyer with dogs than Milo was but he was never "afraid"..
then for the first time about 4 mnths ago on our walk we came upon a rottweiler offleash...she was approached us and i just kept walking..but as soo as she was within 5 metres of us Monty just stopped, sat down and would go any further, put his head up and started howling/squealing....i was a bit suprised and just picked him up and started walking...but i just dismissed it then because the rott was a big dog and if i was as small as monty id be afraid too...
quite recently however when any dog (big, small whatever) comes right up to him he'll squeal like its about to kill him and run right behind me and sit there behind my legs and continue squealing until you pick him up and comfort him...we had a little maltese come chasing after monty and he was scared out of his wits!
is this normal?? i thought most cavs are extremely friendly with all dogs?? is there any way of stopping this from happening because it'll be hard when people bring there dogs over...
thanks in advance..
oh btw just adding that i have no such problem with Milo...he is extremely friendly with dogs..not scared at all...
