This is the primary reason dogs get excited to see other dogs.\u00a0 When your dog spots another dog from a distance, his greatest desire becomes to meet and smell the other dog to find out where they have been, what they ate, and to see if they want to play.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"why-does-my-dog-go-crazy-when-he-sees-another\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_dog_go_crazy_when_he_sees_another_dog\"><\/span>Why does my dog go crazy when he sees another dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most dogs that bark and lunge at other dogs are really stressed out by other dogs. They might be scared, aggressive, or overly excited. Seeing another dog without being able to escape, attack, or go say hi is generally \u201cupsetting,\u201d so the dog barks and lunges.\u00a0 Your dog is trying to get the other dog to go away.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9HFNPAZDTH4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-stop-your-dog-from-going-crazy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_stop_your_dog_from_going_crazy_when_they_see_other_dogs\"><\/span>How do you stop your dog from going crazy when they see other dogs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you see your friend and their dog from a distance, ask them to stop while your dog is still calm. Ask your dog to sit\/stay. Have the other dog approach. When your dog gets up and starts to act excited, your friend and the other dog should stop, turn around and walk away.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-stop-my-dog-from-reacting-to-other\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_stop_my_dog_from_reacting_to_other_dogs\"><\/span>How do I stop my dog from reacting to other dogs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change your dog\u2019s response to other dogs, start working with your dog, standing still, at a distance where he can see another dog without reacting and where other dogs aren\u2019t walking toward you. You can try this exercise, for example, at the edge of a lot where dogs get out to go to a dog park or pet store.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5aAt-Ve0o7U\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-dogs-be-when-they-see-each-other\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_dogs_be_when_they_see_each_other\"><\/span>How dogs be when they see each other?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your dog may exhibit signs such as sniffing the other dog. They will start to sniff them as an easy way for them to access memories of their furry friend. Dogs have much better noses than humans, so when they sniff another dog and realize they have a familiar and friendly scent, they will react much better to that dog.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-stop-my-dog-from-lunging-at-other\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_stop_my_dog_from_lunging_at_other_dogs_on_walks\"><\/span>How do I stop my dog from lunging at other dogs on walks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hold your dog on a loose leash; a tight leash can heighten reactivity. Treat your dog when he walks next to you; if he pulls on the leash or crosses in front of you, stop walking. Use a treat to lure him back to your side. Walk toward the other dog at an angle or perpendicular to the other dog, rather than head on.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ncg7DVQH7pE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-calm-down-2-dogs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_calm_down_2_dogs\"><\/span>How do you calm down 2 dogs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Scents like lavender and vanilla can help calm your dog down, especially if you associate them with times when the dog is calm \u2014 like having a scented air freshener near her bed.Be sure that your dog doesn\u2019t have any allergies to particular scents and ask your veterinarian for recommendations on the scents that work<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-is-my-dog-becoming-more-reactive\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_dog_becoming_more_reactive\"><\/span>Why is my dog becoming more reactive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dogs that are reactive overreact to certain stimuli or situations.

That is sign one. If the person does not forgive them yet, they start pawing and rubbing their faces against the leg. Instead of just saying sorry as humans do, dogs acknowledge that they have done a mistake.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uy_1pjuVugA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-dogs-remember-other-dogs-that-have-died\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_dogs_remember_other_dogs_that_have_died\"><\/span>Do dogs remember other dogs that have died?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cDogs don\u2019t necessarily know that another dog in their life has died, but they know that individual is missing,\u201d says Dr. Your dog simply knows that their friend is no longer present and may exhibit one or more symptoms of grief including: Withdrawal from people and other pets.
