    Lazy Llama

The dog thread is better than the cat thread, because it features dogs.

Oh isn’t it nice to have a dog, and meet other dogs, that are pretty chill re guarding their resources
My old dog, I never really got to find out how he would be with other dogs as he was so reactive in the early months, I kept him away from them. Learned a lot from my mistakes with him which I have poured into Mungo
Maybe by the time on my 4th or 5th dog, I’ll have got it sorted 🤣

tbh, a lot of the near miss incidents that I have seen in the past few years have involved dogs on leads - a tightly leashed dog could be even more defensive / aggressive than when off the leash.

case in point.
Bringing Ben up the stairs from the outer harbour beach, he was walking to heel (-ish) but unleashed. We passed a GSD type being held back and pulling very strongly against a choke-chain collar and thick rope lead, also barking fit to bust. Ben just went "huff" [not actually a bark], otherwise totally ignored the GSD and went up onto the walkway.
I was told later, by yet another local dog-walker that this particular GSD was also supposed to be muzzled in public - it [or it's owners] had a bad reputation but had never been up before the courts since moving to the area [for some reason the witnesses always refused to testify].

Yeah, I think so much of dogs reactions are down to us their owners (controllers, if they’re on lead)
I was so lucky getting g mungo from a refuge where he’d been exercised and running with the puppy pack. By the time he arrived to me he spoke excellent Dog, so all I had to do was work with him on strange loud things like washing machines and traffic and not eating jumpers

I've never understood why chihuahuas are perpetually angry. They also seem to think they are 10 times the size they are.

Is it not just that they like to be able to run around a bit and play rather than being kept in someone's £10k handbag and getting told off if they shit in it?
