Last Saturday we attended Dogfest at the Timonium Fair Grounds and as we
were leaving the ticket area and I wasn't paying close attention, apparently
Muttley nipped at a young yellow Lab, causing him to yelp. I immediately
gave Muttley a correction and he sat down and looked at me.

Hmmmm. Let me guess. You had him on that long leash you normally use?

My feeling is that Muttley is just not very playful and would rather be left
alone by other dogs

So what does that tell you should, or shouldn't, be doing?

Is there any surprise why I avoid those types of events? Fortunately,
I tend to have pretty good idiot-radar at things like that, as it is
my job to protect my dogs from the "he just wants to say hi" dolts.
I cautions my students to be careful where they bring their dogs as
well, and always be on the lookout for the clueless.
