We are currently working with this gentle giant. He is 12 months old, meaning he is still very excitable and learning how to manage his emotions around distractions.
Due to his size, both dogs and owners can sometimes find him intimidating on walks, even though his intention is simply to play and interact.
This behaviour has likely developed from early experiences where most dog interactions were encouraged only off-lead, which can unintentionally build high excitement and frustration when seeing other dogs on-lead.
We are now working on building calmness, improving focus on his handler, and teaching him how to remain neutral around other dogs while out on walks.
The goal is not to take the fun away from him, but to give him the structure and control needed so walks become enjoyable, relaxed, and safe for both him and his owner.
