My Boston Terrier is a little over a year now. If he sees another dog or person when we are out walking or anything, he starts screaming and we can't get him to stop. The only time he doesn't scream in those situations is if the dogs or people acknowledge him and give him attention. Not only is it embarrassing but I'm worried that people will think my little guy is mean.
I've read articles about removing your dog from the situation and praising him when he is quiet but I don't understand how that solves anything. To me, that's not fixing anything. It's just avoiding the situation.
Please help. We just moved to a new neighborhood and our next door neighbors have a puppy pug and I'm afraid my little guy has come off as mean or that we are bad parents.
