I hope you're ok....
I had this last week, Chase and I were playing ball nicely and two dogs came sprinting across the field at him. I've had enough of putting him onlead when dogs approach, as he gets more fearful if he can't go away, so I held him in a down stay for 5 mins (i literally checked my watch) whilst these dogs wandered around Chase over and over, witch chase in a down stay a meter away from me looking at his ball....eventually one of the dogs pounced on Chase's face, and Chase told it off - the owner had a right go at me, telling me my dog (who hadn't moved more than a meter away from me at any time, and after telling the dog off had returned to a down stay) was out of control. I laughed and told her to buy a lead. Really really really annoys me....Chase doesn't like other dogs, but doesn't go after them for a fight, he tells them to F off if they persist in badgering him....
People think all dogs should like all dogs....sometimes it just doesn't happen!
I hate walking in the summer, its like all the non doggy people decide to go out for walks. I've had packs of greyhounds snapping at chase, labs jumping on him whilst he was on lead and chase subsequently hurt his back....chase doesn't like dogs, but isn't a problem unless some idiots let their off lead dogs pounce on him. Really really annoys me!
Storm got bitten the other day - straight on the nose, by a yorkie....
Hope you're ok though, know that you're not alone lol x
