We had Angel and Hobgoblin out at one of the local off-leash dog parks the other day. They have two sections, one of which is specifically for small dogs ... and at the height of the time we were there, there were about 15 or so little dogs racing around playing. Most of the dogs were having a ball chasing each other around and just being exuberant, but there were a couple (Angel included) who weren't all that interested in playing. Angel just stays at my heels, and if I or Maxx sit on one of the benches she just pops up and asks to come up on our laps. So, I walk around and around the park, with Angel usually behind me at my heels, but sometimes she ventures out in front of me. She was actually more open to meeting dogs this time, as she actually approached a couple very cautiously and sniffed noses.
I'm wondering about getting a little fake leash to attach to her harness, to see if she thinks there's a leash attached she'll have more confidence, as she's fine meeting dogs when on leash on her walks.
We'll have to see if I can find something like that when we have some spare money.
