By allowing your dog to run to the face of others it for sure is only a matter of time before your dog gets bitten or scared and then you will be the proud owner of a reactive dog!
You know, just like all those owners you think are being pathetic by asking you to put a lead on your dog while you pass them, those owners you judge because there dog might be barking, but you think your perfect little ball of fur can do no wrong and has the god given right to run to the face of others.
Well you carry on with your ignorance and it is ignorance especially if you have been asked to put your dog on a lead but feel it's ok that you don't, well when it approaches that wrong dog, that dog that won't tolerate a rude and obnoxious dog jumping all up in it's face, don't be crying about it and effing and jeffing at the owner who asked you to put it on a lead because the only one at fault is you!
It's no more natural for a dog to run to another that it doesn't know, than it is for us humans.
Imagine everywhere you went, and people shoved their big fat face into yours, how would you feel? worried, scared, happy??
well that's the same for dogs.
Dogs naturally would give space and avoid other dogs or challenge other dogs.
So when your over social dog runs up to another, just remember, that might be it's last time, the next time it could be YOU asking people to keep their dog away from yours! and then and only then you might realize just how rude and ignorant you were being.
And to those who comment "what rubbish" keep doing it, it's you who will end up with a reactive dog, or worse, a vet bill 🤷♀️
The owners asking you to put it on a lead are actually trying to help not only their own dog, but your too, because they can see you as a dog owner are failing your own dog.
Do yourself and your dog a favour and teach them to be neutral around people and dogs, have them walk past them without any excitement, and without approaching anyone or any dog, you will get more smiles and thanks for that!
Be valuable to your dog, stop letting other people and dogs become the source of value, you got the dog so become interesting to it! Take responsibility for it!
