Critical Social Encounters

Most school literature is not look for fight, but evenly that you and your golden can go through critical situations. Be ready for these kinds of situations, imagining dangerous encounters with other dogs, and the possible solution, because when it really does happen, it will be difficult for you to keep calm and react correctly. In in the following situation: you although walking ways your dog leash, and a strange dog clearly lets you know that he has no pacifist intentions; it his owner is still far away. You can't make a dog lose either because there is a risk of him running off into the street.

What can you do? Honestly, there is no wonderful formula because he did not know before hand how the strange dog will react.

What might possibly happen? Will you keep calm and go your way? What sounds so simple actually requires a lot of training. You can teach your Golden to walk "together" with you with a simple order without paying attention to other things. The decisive factor is that your dog doesn't turn around to look at the dog that is following him. Why is this attitude usually successful? You and your dog ignore any attempt from the other dog to get your Golden into a fight. If you manage to stay calm and simply leave the other dog "standing", after a short while he will stop bothering your dog..

In known territory you can also let your dog loose and keep on going. Don't stop, don't say anything, and pay as little attention as possible to the dogs. In most cases no fight will arise -- the dogs will go around in circles trying to intimidate each other and after a while, they will separate and your dog will come back to your side. The important thing is that the owners of the dogs remain far enough so as not to transmit energy or support.
