Ive been staying with my parents over christmas and Jack has been getting on really well with Holly and Robbie. Robbie has always been noisy with other dogs on his lead and when I walk them all together it really gets Jack going which I suppose is understandable if not a bit annoying. However now he has started barking even if the other two arent bothered and today he actually ran upto and started a fight with another dog despite the fact both rob and hol were on their leads with me. This ended in him getting kicked and me being sworn at and now I feel quite upset, especially as it was me in the wrong. :unsure: He can be a bit stand offish with dogs usually but all his signalling is fine. I took him out on his own the other day in a situation where there were lots of dogs and he was quite confident - marching around with his tail in the air even to dogs much bigger than him, but he still played with them ok. I dont think it helped this morning that the man had his dog by the collar as they could interact, but it confuses me more why he would start a fight with a dog much bigger with him when he is off the lead, im nowhere near, and the dog is attached to a big aggressive man! Is he stupid or what! I presume it must be something to do with the fact that now he is part of a doggy pack. As far as I can tell he is bottom of the pack, he is respectful of robbie and despite Hollies age she has a stare that can strike fear into anyones heart. Is he trying to impress them, or does he feel backed up and confident now he has a crew behind him? I hope someone has some good advice, I feel like its my fault as Jack was really good when I got him and now he is ASBO dog!
