Re: Socializing Dogs
It is embarrassing to have dogs that don't behave in public I've had a few made me red faced and squirming with embarrassment myself. One our late Duncan was so excited to go out he'd scream ! All the neighbours would look out when we left the flats wondering why we couldn't stop him doing this ear splitting piercing scream ! We had trainers and behaviorists no one could stop him. My vet said it was similar to when a hunter was sent into a rabbit hole to kill, so it was a perfectly natural response to a Yorkshire terrier going to do something he was super excited about. Didn't help us stopping it but did explain why he did it.Re: Socializing Dogs

Re: Socializing Dogs
Yes these are exactly the problems I having. Peaches and Diego both pulling like mad, barking their heads off trying to get to the other dogs. However if a loose dog especially a large one comes near them they are jumping up at me in a panic to be picked up and sometimes making a screaming noise.Re: Socializing Dogs
MC, firstly when I said go and watch a training session by yourself at first, it was so that you could watch and learn what goes on, and talk freely to people there, without the distration of hanging on to yours while they are misbehaving.Re: Socializing Dogs
Re: Socializing Dogs
I used to leave mine in the car for a few minutes in the shade with window open a bit if it was cool enough. I never do it now because too many numpties like to break in and claim they are saving the dog no matter how safe the dog actually is.
