Thanks for your reply. Sorry I forgot to include relevant information:
where were you?
We were at the dog park. The only ones present were myself, my dog, the other dog and his owner.Is this dog familiar to Hudson, is there a clear level of social status between them.
They haven’t met before, so they don’t have a clear social status between them. They sniffed each other a bit, but that was all.Do you treat (food/toy/affection) your dog on the recall?
Yes. I followed Phase 3 recall steps with the e-collar and rewarded with affection. He didn’t respond to the No warning when I asked him to sit once he returned. Instead, he turned to face the dog who also approached.Looking back at the situation, I can see where it could have gone wrong. 1. No clear social status between 2 dogs, 2. My dog’s natural tendency to resource guard, including myself, 3. Possible failure in leadership on my part.
I guess my next question is how I can approach these issues/behaviours properly.
