Tonight I took my 12 week old cc puppy groot to my sons baseball practice to socialize with people and just get him used to being out and about... He did great with little kids grown ups doing awesome on the leash just being a great pup... When an older (but smaller) rat terrier walked by groot stayed seated while the other dog sniffed him but then the dog lunged at him. Groot immediately was up barking and growling to defend himself. The other dogs owned backed him off and apologized but groot stayed pointed and eyes locked in on the dog till it was well out of sight... I didn't do anything to call him off as I feel like it's fine for my dog to stand his ground but in your opinion should I have done anything? How would you handle that situation I definitely don't want me dog starting anything but should I have not let him stay focused until the other dog was gone?
Sorry if that was long winded or hard to understand...
