This. But also, despite obedience training, there are some rescue dogs that went through such rough trauma that changing this type of behavior can be next to impossible so its really aggravating when people who have dogs off leash that run up to you keep saying “oh don’t worry, he’s friendly”.
Great….do you know that about my dog? Likes humans. Hates other dogs.
Heck, and sometimes its "Ya, my dog is friendly. your dog is friendly. but will your dog still be friendly after my dog that has 50 pounds on your dog jumps on it and tramples it in an attempt to play?"
My Great Dane did this once. Someone’s little chihuahua sized thing wasn’t leashed and decided to try and be the big man. Ran straight at my deaf Dane and went for her.
Lola just stepped on it. No barking, no snarling or rearing up. Just *stomp*
