Advice from the trainer of Puppy Pre-School in Leichhardt. I went to a local dog park the other day and saw a sad sight that is like many others I’ve observed over the years. Someone brought a young puppy to the park. The puppy was sniffing another dog while the owners looked pleased. Then, someone else showed up with an over-excited, rough dog. He barked and lunged at the other dogs nearby, including the puppy. The puppy responded beautifully to this behavior by lying down on the ground and lowering her head. Then the over-excited dog ran up to her, pinning her down while she looked distressed and rolled over on her back, wide-eyed and clearly afraid.
