I have a 13 week old lab puppy. He is brilliant in all areas...sits ..stays...wees on demand etc but when he sees another dog he thinks all dogs want to play and wont leave the other dog alone. he does go down on his back if the dog growls or puts him down but gets straight back up and carrys on as if nothing has happened. He goes to puppy get togethers but he wears all the other puppies out and still keeps trying to play. he has two walks a day for about an hour each walk and is great off lead and runs till he drops but still if he see another bdog he want play. im worried that one day he will push his luck and get hurt by a dog that cant stand the playing. What can I do?
Well in my experience I'm pretty sure he'll grow out of it. My standard poodle was extremely hyperactive as a puppy but he now is really chill and calm(he's 10 now but he started being really chill at around 3). I know being around other dogs is important for a puppy so he develops proper social skills however, if it gets to the point where he's pestering other dogs then you should probably put him on the leash around them. Let him go meet the dogs but keep him on the leash and in your control. Hope I helped :)
u should keep him on a short leash, because my mom had a black lab named sammy, and sammy was on a walk and went up to a guy that was running, and licked his toes, and the guy kicked sammy! :( Poor Sammy! ): so, you never know! hold your dog or put it on a short leash! Hope I helped!
this would be VERY tricky, but take him to bigger dogs than him, that are old, dont want to play and wont suddenly bite him. he will get tired of trying to play with them, and will stop completley.
