So we have had our puppy for 6 months now. And he's adorable so gentle and friendly with everyone who visits. Couldn't ask for a better puppy except for one problem.
When we are out for walks and he sees another dog he gets so excited. He's manageable until the dog comes over for a sniff and that's it he's jumping at the dog tail wagging basically going mad. Don't get me wrong he's not aggressive he never barks grows or tries to bite he just wants to play. But it's getting embarrassing when the other dog is calm and friendly and my dog is like a maniac tryin to get to it.
What I really want to know is, is there something I can do to train him out of this so tht when we do meet another dog in the street we aren't fighting to stop him knocking the other dog over( he's a bassett hound cross so has some weight behind him)
Will he grow out of this as he matures?
It'd be nice to say hello to other dog owners Inthe park without the worry my dog is going to be just too playful.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated
Thanks
