I have never owned a dog before, and am learning so much. However I don't quite know what to do when another dog approches us, with his/her owner holding thier leash, on a walk. I've read horror stories about dogs getting in fights, and people getting hurt when both are on leashes(getting tangled, therefore I've avoided it...I'll hold Bella closer to me and make sure she doesn't go near the other dog. Guess I'm just over protective / paranoid about it What's the right thing to do? Bella does greyt at the doggie park, fyi.
