use a leash
We were walking our visiting daughter's dog (a very well behaved 7 year old standard poodle) on his leash when he was approached by a little terrier (unleased and his owner was on the telephone) Our dog was startled and bit the terrier. The standard poodle breed has always been bred to defend the family and that was what he was doing. I feel bad that that little dog got bit but he did startle our dog and he wasn't being controlled. Please care enough about your pets to leash them and take good care of them. Now we are all upset and I feel that the owner of the other dog will be angry with me.
