I started socializing him early with other dogs, we even did a puppy class and there where bigger dogs in there. He just started this about 2 mos. ago with going crazy when he sees a big dog, totally different reaction with a small dog. But I'll try some of your suggestions, next time i go to the park. |
Yup I was afraid of that that is a alpha roll and I would suggest with care and all do respect, stop using it truly if a 200 pound human did that to you... you would feel what???? and your dog feels the same just the same really they do.
What you may be missing seeing and I do not when watching dogs on TV or not and you may not totally understand dog language is the lip licks, the yawns ,the eye blink, the shake off the total of 41 other signs you dog is stressed... please do not do the roll it not worth your relationship with our dog you want it built with trust and that not bulding trust. It is ok to have done it, it did not work move on.
Sadly we are all taught puppy class is enough sadly that is wrong.. 100 people, places, things, sounds, other dogs and animals by 16 weeks and then you go on from there or it not enough.
It is ok too we can work on skills now and you did not know as it not told well enough and loud enough and clearly enough.
