I just have a 5 foot or so leash. No lead. I do not like those really long leads. It is only this dog Milo that Beau dislikes and he has never been close enough to Milo to even smell his butt or do anything else. I pull him in the other direction.
Beau is an alpha dog but he is a happy alpha dog. Beau I admit is quite spoiled.
Jon Snow is about the same mix of breeds. Also a stubborn pooch but he seems quite happy. Smidgeon too but Beau is OK with him.
Milo's owner and I kind of just work it out so we are at the postal center at different times or she keeps Milo at one end while I am at the other.
There are a few dogs on-and-off at Doggie Doo Run Run that do not get along with Beau. I just pick him up and go to another part of the dog park, go home if that does not work or go to some other dog park or some other place to walk.
Milo is a very sweet beta dog and that may be the problem.
