So I walk my dog, and Quincy is usually well behaved on these walks, but he IS a hyper puppy. When other people come by he gets very excited & when other dogs come by he can hardly contain himself. Also, Quincy gets distracted easily, so easily that the urge to relieve himself is overtaken by the urge to play. Even after that dog/person or whatever goes away, he just can't concentrate and all is lost (at least for that particular walk)

So MY question is......why is it that when I'm walking Quincy down the street that people always cross over to our side as they walk towards us? I try to do the opposite to spare people of dog slobber and to spare me the embarrassment of a possible humping dog. I just don't understand it. You don't know me, you don't know my dog, how do you know we're friendly???

it just boggles me.....
