HI,
Just wanted to introduce myself and my 19 weeks old CC, NiKlaus Odin. I am very pleased to have stumbled across this website. The members offer very useful information. While I am on the subject, I am curious if anyone can provide me with advise. I had an incident today where Klaus postured up and growled at another dog while we were walking. This is the first time he has shown some type of aggression to another dog. He is socialized, and for the most part used to other animals. I take him to our local pet stores where he interacts and meets other dogs including cats. Perhaps this may shed more light. I was walking Klaus with my two younger kids when I noticed that there is another dog family behind us. Silly me i wanted to get a chance for a meet and greet, therefore I slowed down. However when Klaus realized that there is another dog behind us, he stopped. In a matter of a few seconds, Klaus postured up and started growling. This is a behavior Ive never seen before. I attempted to calm him down by telling him its ok and that the other dog is nice etc... However before I can get through to him, the other dog family walked the other way. Now i am confused I am not sure if Klaus sensed that the other dog is not friendly hence they went the other way or did they because of Klaus. Any thoughts...
Thanks,
Jaz
