hi have a female 1.5 year old mauzer (maltese/miniature schnauzer mix) and whenever i take her to the dog park she stays around me and doesnt socialize with other dogs. she is fine with dogs when i walk her outside, they smell each other and all but once i get inside gates of a dog park she wont go and play with other dogs. i have taken her to 4 different dog parks and only recently she started an attempt to socialize. what she does first is growl at the dog and runs towards them then about half way she turns around and comes back to me. not sure if its a territorial thing or not.
i've had this dog since it was 3 months old. it was born in my sisters bf's house by their maltese and miniature schnauzer. the dogs has had all its shots and spayed. she is friendly around certain people and is more of a people person. she has a brother and sister and the brother lives with the parent dogs when i take her there they play and have fun and socialize. how can i get her to socialize around dogs in a dog park? thing is i cant always take her by her parents or brother because the owners dog want another dog in the house since they already have three. aside from taking her to training classes which i cant afford right now what do you suggest i do? thanks
