So today I had a booth set up at a Fall Festival, and of course had to bring Stump along as a model! Anyway their were lots of people and actually quite a bit of dogs. And Stump loves people! He is the nicest dog in the world, to people of all ages.

BUT when it comes to another dog he would go crazy!!! He would start barking and trying to jump out of my arms! He even was sitting on the table and JUMPED off to growl at a pug!! I felt so bad and so embaressed and I don't know why he is acting like that!! He hasn't been around a whole lot of dogs before. He has sniffed some of the dogs in the neighborhood and been nice to them, but he was in non stop attack mode today!! He also has been to Doggie Day Care but they said he just played with the Humans not the dogs. I don't know what to do because I really want to take him to the shows and stuff I have, but he needs to be nice or else he can't go. I feel horrible because he was scaring some poor little puppies!!

How can I keep him from being a meanie?!
