re: #46 BeenHereAwhile

Around here, it’s the owners I don’t necessarily trust to help the dogs have proper introductions. Letting them just run up to one another on their useless retractable leashes is not at all ideal, and nobody really knows how to ease in intros. Pony Boy is ok with most other dogs but he’s also ok with not meeting them. He’s non-reactive on the leash during walks too, and that’s good enough for me. Also, given that he’s a pitbull, he’d be the one to suffer any consequences no matter who was at fault, should there be a fight. So I don’t let him meet other dogs. But he’s totally free and eager to meet any willing humans.
