Most dogs are aggressive toward other dogs, and my dog is afraid of other dogs. Other dog owners assume that my dog pulling on the leash as we are near them is to say hi and being excited to greet the other dog. He is not. He is running away from he other dog. Because many dogs are aggressive. And when people want to greet my dog, I say no too. He becmes a frenzied 65lbs of dog that loves, loves people and will act nuts at your feet. He is perfectly fine with people who ignore him. Quite frankly, I know I sound insane, but I am tired of people acting like dogs are humans, they are not toddlers, they don't act like small children and they are not toys either. They are dogs, predators by nature and territorial, and just because somebody's dog is 10lbs heavy doesn't mean I want him yapping at my dog.
Thank you, OP, for being a reasonble and intelligent pet owner.
Too many idiotic dog owners ruin it for everyone.
