Advocate for your dog (and other dogs, too!)
When your dog is interacting with another dog, you can and should step in if something is happening that doesn’t make you feel comfortable. Sometimes you will need to protect your puppy from another dog’s poor choices. Other times, it means stepping in when your puppy is the one making a poor choice.
