Hello, I’m new here and a novice dog owner. I have a male Labradoodle, nearly 2, not intact, medium sized. We live near fields and woodland, and walk the dog there along with many others. My dog is very playful, and often crouches and pounces on approaching dogs. He loves to chase and be chased, and engage in “mouthy” play. My question relates to etiquette. When approaching dogs are on lead, I will put my dog on lead. Simply to ensure my dog doesn’t engage. However, when an approaching dog is off-lead, and my dog runs up to play, some owners don’t like this (even though the dogs seem to have a great time playing). I don’t know what the problem is as the dogs seem to love it, BUT I am new to this so would really appreciate some help and advice on how to deal with this. Thank you
