There is probably something to that, maybe me tensing up without even thinking about it which makes him more tense and agitated. I need to get him back to spending time with other dogs. My main thing is I do not have 100% control of my dog when off leash and because of that I will not let him off leash even in an off leash park. He won't run away from me but if he see's another dog he'll run off to that dog. I hate when other people have their dog off leash and it comes running up to my dog so I won't be one of those idiots that does it the other way.
