Update: IT HAPPENED AGAIN! I don't know if I'm looking for advice I just need to vent. So I thought I would never see this lab again because I had never seen it before until the other day. But today I was walking along the path with my dog on a lead and I see the lab (off lead) and it's owner...

Thanks for your reply! Yeah he did seem like a young dog, maybe still a teenager. How do you think I could have handled the situation differently?

I'm quite confused about what happened here. It started with me walking my dog offlead in some woods. A black Labrador runs into the path and lies down when he sees my dog and stares at her. My dog approached the lab and at first everything seemed fine - they were both sniffing each others...

Okay, thanks for the advice! :)

Thanks! That seems like it would work, especially saying your dog has fleas haha.

Thanks for the advice! She is a big cockapoo and I usually walk her in quiet fields where there are a few dogs (mostly off lead) but not loads. Occasionally we go to the park where there tends to be more dogs mingling. She actually seems to enjoy playing and interacting with dogs she trusts...

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and I have a question about dog behaviour. I was wondering if minor squabbles (where both dogs aren't injured) are normal for dogs. My 5 yr old female dog seems to get in quite a few disagreements. Most of the time the other dogs seem to be the instigators of...
