When training dogs, it’s vital to recognize that larger dogs may react more aggressively, while smaller dogs may act defensively. For example, my dog Jazzy was usually fine with other dogs, but if a smaller dog growled at her due to feeling intimidated, she might respond aggressively. Situational awareness is key here for smoother training progress. Also, using a loose leash can reduce stress compared to a tight one. Ultimately, successful training relies on understanding the animal you’re working with. -Grant
