buff asked:


We have a 5-month-old black lab who has been very easy to train (sit, stay, down, come) and heel on the leash. We like to take her into the woods, where we can let her off the leash to run with our older dog. However, as soon as she sees other people or dogs, even a quarter-mile away, she sprints toward them, and there’s nothing we’ve tried that will even slow her down. Most people and dogs are happy to see her and she’s very friendly with them, but we anticipate problems with aggressive dogs and/or frightened children. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
