Hi an. I recently moved from a rural setting to a city apartment complex. Where i lived before was kind of trashy: illegals and white trash. They didnt keep their dogs contained and they were often allowed to roam, taunt my dogs at the fence, etc. If they were injured they were left to limp and behave aggressively towards me and my dogs on walks.
So suffice to say: mine are not socialized to unfamiliar pet dogs. They do fine in a park setting or indoors with other dogs, but they are reactive to passing dogs.
Today there was a spaniel on a flexi lead. My small dog barked and ran at her, then as i went to pull her away my large lab grabbed onto the spaniel. He did not shake or pull or growl, only held tight to the spaniel.
She had no puncture wounds or blood after getting them apart.
How should i best go about preventing this from happening again? I need to lower their reactivity to other dogs, and ensure the lab does not ever behave in such a way again. He is not as reactive, but the small dog riles him.
