Our 7 month old working cocker Ollie has been well socialised with friends dogs and we’re going to the local park with a group most mornings and he seems to have fun.
I know to let dogs sort out their relationships and not to interfere but I find myself having to step in when another 2 year old working cocker has a go at Ollie. It goes beyond normal horseplay to the extent that the older dog is baring teeth and biting ollies neck.
My main problem is with the owner who shows no control over her dog other than a very non-committal, “oh stop that”. Other dog owners will now come over and grab her dog away as she continues to sit gossiping.
The main advice I’m after is at what point do I have a go at her or kick her dog in the teeth?
