[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't expect it, and I don't want it and it is not welcomed by me or my dog. We cross to the other side of the street when we see another dog, or even a person.[b] Most dogs are aggressive toward other dogs, [/b]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.[/quote]

Wrong. And your dog is afraid of other dogs because you haven't properly socialized him. There are so many terrible dog owners, and you're one of them.[/quote]

I am not. My dog is afraid because he was attacked several times, even as a pup. My dog is not aggressive at all. Why would I want him to meet snarling, aching for a fight dogs? He was then attacked last summer several times by dogs with clueless owners. People who act surprised when their illegally off leash dog runs away to bite my dog, plain aggressive. Few times we ran into lovely other goldens who had responsible dog owners. And both dogs were perfectly fine. Sadly, these responsible dog owners are few and apart where I live. My dog has no need to socialize with other dogs and the vet has told me that she does not recommend any dog park, any socialization as it is fulfilling my need for company not my dog's. My dog is the best behaved dog on all of our walks, perfectly social with our other pet and people. [/quote]

If your dog is afraid of other dogs, he is not the best behaved dog. And if multiple dogs (most dogs, according to you) are trying to bite your dog, he is probably doing something to inspire that reaction. The common denominator is him...and you.[/quote]

Ugh, the PP is so demented.[/quote]
