Layla does the same thing if i am holding her so now if we are going to be around other dogs i have to walk her in on her leash so she can be an equal to them. I'm not sure what the answer is because your park has to be on leash... i'm sure someone on here will have suggestions... i just wanted you to know i know how you felt... it is embarassing but we've all been there!!! |
Thank you so much. It was something she has never done before and I instantly started crying because I was embarrassed and shocked.
I feel like we work so hard on training, and it was just a 180 from her usual personality.
Then DH kept saying "oh, she's just a BAD dog" and that made me feel worse. I was talking out loud about why she would have done that, and he just kept saying oh, she's just being bad.. and I know he doesn't mean that, but at the time I was so sensitive about it.
