My dog scared of bigger dogs
Hi
My 15 months old Parsons Rusell Terrier was chased by 4 dogs bigger than her last week when we were in a park- I didn't see them coming- they were off the lead with a dog walker when they came into the park and she bolted out of the park and onto the pavement. She came to me when I called her .
Since then, if she even sees a bigger dogshe will make to run off and actually did the other day, ran out of the park, but stayed on the pavement and came back to me.
Today I took her to a bigger park, which she is v familiar with and again- even though the dogs were at a distance she started jumping up at me as if to be picked up.
I have pout her back n the lead when I see a bigger dog or sense her anxiety and today I walked her past a few big dogs on purpose wuthout making a fus to try to get her used to them again.
She never used to have a problem with bigger dogs so I am v upset about this.
I am due to have a baby in 2 weeks and canlt move v fast and think maybe my anxiety about potentially dangerous situations is not helping either.
Any tips?
