Ya I'm not sure why he did it- he has done it before but once I set him down he got over it- I will try to cover his eyes and correct him the next time. The thing is he is very well mannared, he never barks when we are out he is super friendly but if a dog is coming up to me and I am holding him or he is in my lap he has an issue with it- I never understood why-
