Hi there,
I have a 6 month old mixed breed pup (mostly Cocker Spaniel w/ multiple terrier types) - he is well behaved and trained for the most part, but having real issues with him being 'overly' playful with other dogs, and will continuously chase and yap (playfully) at them in their face/ear! He really does not get the message when they run away or bark at him (it actually encourages him). He is really scaring some other dogs even though he means well.
While I do know being playful is not a major issue, and chances are he will grow out of it, I just wondered if there was any tips on how to get him to stop the yapping?
