My dog is 1yr old now, This has been happening since he turned 7month.

Here is the scenario:

I am walking my dog with a leash on in a trail. Another dog on leash with its owner is walking pass us, my dog is very friendly and sniffing that dog to say hello.

If another dog without or off leash walks towards us with or without its owner behind, My dog will growl aggressively and will jump when that dog comes closer near us.


Is this normal? should I be training him and how? One of the owner told me "dont worry, its normal! your dog is just protecting you". I wonder if what she told me is true , because most dog owners dont like that and think my dog is crazy. They dont know my dog is very well behave when alone or when their dog is on leash
