crazy max

walking my max where was a lot of dogs without leash,he saw a pittbull run after him jups on his head a lot of time so happy was to see that pittbul i think, but the pittbull didn't like max how jumping in his head and was a little fight the pittbull bite my max not hard just give him a lesson i think not to jump anymore...my max is now 6 months(18 kg) is not a small puppy anymore only him think like that..after bite him max run quickly near my legs..also the pittbull owner told me is first time was the pittbull do like this..poor max was scared after and upset :(did he learn the lesson not to jump anymore in dogs head??

Well firstly you need to not let him off a lead until you get it sorted. You need to have good recall before you can let him off the lead.

As said you really need to practice your recall, otherwise, no he won't just learn his lesson. Pleased everything was ok

is coming most of time wend i call him sometimes is just going to other dogs smell each other and leave..maybe that pittbull was special or something:))

not so much a lesson learnt as the possibility of making him wary, as others have said you need good recall and dogs need to be introduced correctly

Agree,

I think most dogs would know anothers age, so the pitbull would have realised Max was just a youngster and just gave a small nip to put him in his place.

As stated above more work on the recall or use a long training line.

Pups such as yours often have bad manners ! He's learning all the time from his experiences but as a responsible owner u must not let him off lead if he won't come bk !
It's often polite to approach dog owners to ask if ur dog can greet/play with theirs.

Duke has a habit of jumping on other dogs heads , im taking it it's a Staffy thing anyone ? , i agree though recall needs improving stick at it and good luck .

My tash does this and recall is brilliant most of the time but there is always that one instance when you dont see the other dog in time or tash sees them first and wont listen. I think they do tend to learn from these experiences and the other dog was probably just telling your dog to stop. It happens but if you see this dog again i would put yours on the lead and introduce them properly. Tash is learning not to jump but its a slow process and its always on the head!

is good on recall sometimes wend is no dogs,i will put the leash all the time to avoid..some owners say yes is ok my dog and his dog start to bark to attack..i will be more cautious next time..thx all
