that's tough.. i'm a bit confused tho... is there only one street for you to walk max on?? are you unable to go on the other side of the street and avoid this dog completely?? can you turn around if you see him coming and walk the other way?? it sounds like whereever you are walking is very small and you'd run into him all the time.. what about bringing max to a park?? about a month ago we brought Layla to a large park in a town about 20 min ago and she LOVED it!! she investigated and saw birds and squirrels and other dogs.. it was so great! i'd avoid her like the plague.. you clearly arne't dealing with a full deck of cards so just do your own thing.. i bet max would love to investigage new places!
