It was very hard for me to come to terms with this with Ringo. We eventually had to quit agility because, by then, we were off leash . . but if the big dogs approached him . . the class was in chaos.
It made me so sad that I could never take him to a dog park, etc. But I've decided that he is just not meant for that. He would not enjoy a dog park; he does not like being around strange dogs; and I do avoid situations where he would be in close contact with large dogs.
But, luckily he gets along with the ONE DOG that I asked him to - Lucy. I feel like he still has a good life even without the dog park; doggie daycare; or agility. But it did make me really sad at first.
It was our agility trainer that figured out he would do well with a small female dog. I'm really grateful for that. Now he and Lucy are best buds.
