Is that the "norty corner" perhaps??? Lol! Maybe you're going to do something really nasty, like putting a flea treatment on or something?
As for your other two I have no idea! The third, same as Rune there.
Lotsadogs: There's obviously something going on up ahead, maybe it's your 2nd dog up there been put in a down/stay (coz I'm very perceptive and you wouldn't be out walking with just the one
), or maybe you're approaching the group? As for your dog, it's very relaxed I will say that, so it can't be anything horrible up ahead?!

In the picture the dogs have already been running round so they are puffed out. Flynn is wanting more but since Jed is knackered, the ears back indicates he's not up for it. .

to be honest, more a look of interest on his face.

Lady who owns him seems a bit too strong - if my dog was well trained and refused to lie down, I'd wonder why and look at context, environment, etc (ie trust my dog a bit ...
)Wys

so he was avoiding haha - hes got the right idea, ignore the bad and respond for nice polite rquests

or possibly you`ve got woodworm.
But more likely it`s that she`s sitting there very still not making eye contact till the norty whatever goes away.
Second one - sitting dog is on handlers` feet, body blocking her as well. Staring at other dog who is not looking back. Possible issues around control of space from GWP?
Third one - GWP again looking straight at GSP with head lowered (a challenge of some sort), who is avoiding the gaze but not backing off.
Fourth One. Dog is about to call the RSPCA on grounds of loss of street cred.

It's because of Cosmo being covered in mud...the person looks worried that he will be people friendly and the dog worries he will be dog friendly. Neither of them want him to come anywhere near them generally......

That's when I know I have to listen.Being told to do a Down when he is not comfortable is top of his list, and like others have said, I change tactics and try to orient his attention back to me, get him on side, and I'll be happy with a good sit instead, although it is done to make him think it was his choice.
