Default Difference between Dog Agression and Poor Socialization
I feel like I've posted a million times today but I've been very curious about something. Baloo was always fine around other dogs until we went to obedience class which is also around when he turned one. The first week was fine just very interested in the other dogs. The second week he started growling(growling is also part of his everyday language. Playing, asking for attention, etc.). So I just assumed he became dog aggressive. (Note: he was abandoned as a puppy and spent a lot of his life in the pound. I got him at around 8 months old in March) But twice today we've been run up on by stray dogs and he was kind of cool with it. The first instance it was two dogs off leash in their yard. They got to about 10 ft of us and Baloo looked at them and I told him to come and he ignored them and came. Second time was just now when two people had their dogs (husky and lab) off leash and they ran up on Baloo while we were walking to his pee spot. Of course, I had a heart attack and immediately grabbed his muzzle. He didn't growl or try to bark he just followed me as I was hurrying away and I was telling these dogs to go on but they were just following smelling him and all up in his face. I didn't want him to do anything so I even picked up his front and walked him on two legs for a little bit then their owners finally reigned them in but they were right in front of my door and they were apologizing. But once the dogs got on their leashes, he starts barking at them. ?? I just don't know. I almost want a calm older dog to come meet him while he's in his crate or something just to see if he actually doesn't like the dogs or is just maybe leash frustration.
