I don't think s/he meant any harm, but my dog is very unpredictable and I think I stood on the spot uselessly saying "NO NO NO NO NO". I think my pooch was scared into submission for a change, because she just cowered at my side. The owner trotted over and apologised and I was so shaken up all I could do was pick up my dog and wander off.<br /><br />However, we too always take a couple of minutes to calm down after an incident like this. I'm not sure if it helps her but it certainly helps me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-364510902774440038.post-69591697575515649672014-04-23T12:48:32.129-07:002014-04-23T12:48:32.129-07:00My worst nightmare.

We had one last week, i threw cheese at the approaching dog and it still didn't turn away to chase the food. Thankfully Sophie held her stay behind me. Good idea to stop and get your bearings again after such an incident. I raced home and in hindsight stopping would have been good for us.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01229758010712631659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-364510902774440038.post-1165325849048475282014-04-23T11:38:08.014-07:002014-04-23T11:38:08.014-07:00It's amazing how fast the nice weather brings ...It's amazing how fast the nice weather brings about off leash dogs.
