My Labrador is coming up to a year and a half so still very young. He is very friendly with other dogs and sometimes too enthusiastic which makes some dogs go a bit funny towards him and growl etc when they do this he doesn't seem to understand that they don't want to play and carries on trying. What can I do about this as I don't want him to get hurt?
Recall - Only seems to be when there's a dog, he just pelts it towards them wanting to play which sometimes frightens the dogs and owners! It can be hard to get him to come back from them. Does anyone have any tips on recall from distractions such as other dogs?
(He has been socialized growing up going to training classes etc)
Thanks!
