Thank you all for your thoughtful replies. I really appreciate it and I am grateful for the learnings (just 24h after signing up for this course!). I want the best for watson so I’ll keep asking novice / silly questions and thank you in advance for your patience!

Thank you Riggan, that makes a lot of sense. Watson is my first dog and I have a lot to learn. In the park I usually go there are a lot of off-leash dogs so I am trying to educate myself of what’s the right behavior / etiquette and what’s right and safe for all dogs involved.

I assume that even if both dogs are off leash there needs to be some control on how dogs approach one another?
