Hi
Floyd is now 18 weeks and loves to meet other dogs and people out on walks. I obviously want him to be able to socialise well with other dogs and to meet other people, but i am aware there are some who don't want an over excited puppy jumping all over them or their dogs. We are working on the 'leave' command and trying to get him to walk past some people and dogs, but the minute he spots ayone he is pulling at his lead and lunging at them when they walk past. I have to say i get embarrassed as they must thing i'm useless at controlling him (hmmm..!)
Anyway, if anyone has any advice on what we can try to do so that we can at least walk past a couple of people normally when out, that would be appreciated!
Thanks
Fiona
