About last week when I was walking Missy past my neighbors dog Koda starts barking(nothing new) I was surprised when my other neighbors dog(Copper I think. He's a dachshund/Pomeranian so he's small) came barreling down the hill to me and Missy. He know does this every day. Missy barks at him, I keep walking forward saying let's go when she turns around I click and treat if she looks at me click and treat, while she is pulling toward Copper and/or barking I just keep saying let's go. Copper usually just follows while Missy is doing this sometimes he barks too. I've noticed when Missy stops barking he comes closer and makes a soft whine. And he only follows for a little bit(seems like forever though) than gives up on getting to say hi to Missy.
I kinda of like this situation cause it gives me a chance to really work with Missy around other dogs. So my question is I'm I doing this right or is there another way I can help Missy chill. Also do you think this could help Missy with her re-activity(having the dog follow) or make it worse?
