We don't have a small dogs only section, but even when we're in one corner of the park and only small dogs are around, she seems scared of them. Last time I went, I took treats with me. Every once in awhile if there were no other dogs, I'd start running and get all excited for her to come with me and she did actually run for a little while. Then I'd stop and praise her and give her treats. But, if we were running and another dog came by, I'd look back and she'd be stopped and cowering on the ground
I do play with K.C. a lot because he always has his ball there, he picks up sticks and runs around, he plays with other dogs. I think maybe she should spend some more time with just K.C. since he's okay with her and maybe if she becomes more "friends" with him, she might go play like he does.
Actually, after the last time we went, K.C. came back to my house while my boyfriend and I had lunch. We were sitting there eating and Layla approached K.C. They sniffed at each other, and her tail started wagging. She ran away and he followed her until she went under the couch. But it seemed like that might be a start. She's not terrified of him.
Thanks for everyone's advice. I'm not going to give in to her anymore and pick her up when she wants me to!
