My little guy is a really sociable dog and plays with all sorts of dogs--but he has a complexion of sorts around certain dogs I've noticed, most notably danes and boxers...although at the park he seems to get along well with GSD's, retrievers and other big dogs too.
When I take them on walks he'll see these bigger dogs from a distance, maybe half a block away and start lunging and barking.
With other dogs he'll see another dog and try to speed up his walking, but with these big dogs he'll bark hard at them. I live in a downtown area where horses will walk by and he will bark his heart out at those too.
Any tips on calming him down in these situations?
