Poor Sophie! :flower: I agree it sounds like frustration and also perhaps that Hugo has concluded (as only a small dog can!) that because he is hoisted out of the way, the dogs on the ground are somehow a threat and as he is restrained in the backpack, he would have no means of defending himself if they jumped at him - so screaming blue murder is the best form of defence. Could you just let him mix with dogs that you know are vaccinated, at ground level, until he can mix freely? If he learns that making an exhibition of himself and screaming terrier-expletives at other dogs makes them back off (and makes some react with a similar outburst) it can be a hard habit to break.
