    My question to you would be, do you know your dogs full history and if your dog maybe had some sort of scare with another dog off lead when a pup?

    I really don't know. He was found as a stray in the town when he was roughly 18 months to 2 years old I think. He went to another home where he spent roughly a year but had to be rehomed again because he kept getting out and chasing the neighbours horses. Then I got him at about 3 years old and Iv had him 3 years since May.

    Thank you DBB for that advice, made an awful lot of sense!

    I did this a few years ago on a route I walk regularly in a village, where a J Russell would go quite insane and charge to within 3 feet of us as we passed, my dog was quite young and I was teaching her to ignore such situations.
    As we stood ignoring the lunatic the owner came out and started shouting and roaring at me for annoying her dog, she didn't even take a breath and just ranted on and on (just like her dog), she wouldn't listen to me when I tried to explain and just kept on "barking", so I treated her the same as her dog and turned away, gave my dog a treat, light a fag, and waited for her to tire herself out, which she eventually did and stormed off, seems this technique works with people also. :)

    Like owner, like dog :D
