I do wonder if its possible for a dog to be oversocialised as a puppy. Otto has spent 15 to 20 hours every week playing with dogs he is familiar with from the age of 16 weeks. Nearly four years now. Maybe he just doesn't understand that not all dogs want to ruff and tumble or that some dogs don't "speak dog " very well.
I'd think so. Hugo my mum and dads newfoundland still thinks every single dog is friendly and wants to play with him.
Unfortunately not all dogs think a 70kg+bear is friendly...

On a rare occasion a dog that for whatever reason isn't well socialised will panic and run away squealing which is literally the opposite of dog language for please stop chasing me. Not enjoyable for anybody, even if Otto is just reading the dogs body language.
