I hear ya. My dog was attacked as a puppy on two separate occassions from off lead dogs, and as a result he's not great with dogs who run up to him suddenly while he's on a leash (which he always is because I don't trust other people or cars lmao). I also don't walk him where I know there's gonna be lots of dogs just in case, cause people suck - so that generally rules out all the nice dog-friendly places we could go. He hasn't actually attacked another dog, but I don't wanna take that risk because I've had friends whose dogs were perfectly trained with no prior negative experiences, and have still ended up going another dog in certain situations. I just want my bebi to be safe, especially since going for super long walks with him is one of my favourite things to do :(
