I mean, I still remember when my little puppy ran over to a big German Shepard that was off the lead but super behaved next to owner. I tried to recall to no avail, the owner looked concerned but then amused when the seemingly grumpy Shepard took up the offer to play. But yeah I have to keep mine on a lead as he thinks little kids that shreek in unneeded fright want to play, awkward!

I guess there is that “how does your dog learn the cues to not interact with certain dogs if they don’t interact with certain dogs and their dog cues”.
Yes, I'd like to think unless someone's got a reactive or particularly elderly dog they wouldn't object. Plus who does't enjoy meeting puppies? Suppose I'm lucky to have a large park nearby where it was always relatively easy to find other dogs to interact with and she's really benefitted from it. She's almost always very calm/confident in her dealings with other dogs now. Though lately she's a lot more into balls and sticks than other dogs, unless they're ones she knows already.

Yeah I thought as much!
That’s why I’m just having a bit of a moan, I’d gone on lunch break to do a bit of outdoor stuff in the park. Couldn’t. Having a whine about it on here.

I’ll bring the long line next time
