Well whilst out today Willow has been fine with the doggies she knows  ;) but this mornings walk consisted of a blooming boxer I didnt recognise come bounding up to her, she looked petrified and her tail went between her legs and she looked at me as if to say 'help'  :'( I was mega anxious too so im guessing this didnt help...

What should I do now, give her as many positive experiences around dogs she does know until her fear passes?

We know our Algy is not as good with some other dogs as he might be, so he is kept on an extending lead, Biggles who thinks he is a teddy bear, is the first one to run if lips are raised at him, Bertie is on an extending lead, as he is still very young and at the stage where he is baggable (ie easily popped into a large bag, hidden and taken)! People who do not watch what their dogs are doing are likely to end up with dead dogs, do they know who or what is in the field, on the track, coming down the road?

She was on her extendable lead when the boxer approached yesterday. Im perhaps worrying too much!!

But the owner of the boxer should have seen what was going on and responded!

Wanted to add about half an hour after it happened OH said to me out of the blue, "Well on a positive note at least it gives you something to write about on COL later"  Only my OH could pass a blooming comment like that....  >:D >:D

Hopefully the experience won't 'scar' her too much. Give her a cuddle from us :)
My beautiful little boy Charlie :)

Thank you foryour comments, Willow met with alot of dogs she didnt know yesterday and seems to respond fine. I think she will be okay and will forget it before I do  :D :D
