Unfortunately she is no better on the lead . My experience was terrible two days ago when she was on a lead and a big dog run up to her to sniff . She panicked and tried to bolt but couldn't and ended up crying while flying in the air as I tried to reel her in to pick her up

she was tearing in a circle so fast I just couldn't get to her to calm her down
We have only a little green in my local park and all owners I know treat their dogs monthly like I do for fleas as a preventive.
She isn't tiny small - she is 8 pounds but we hardly see many dogs smaller . She loves the little pug and shizt tu that plays on the green
It's sounding like she will never feel safe with big dogs so her time on the lead must come to an end and I will have to pick her up whenever I see a big dog approach
