In the past several weeks, I've noticed that my 7 month 20lb Beagle-mix puppy has snapped at several dogs that have approached him while he's on a leash, but they are not.
I like to take our pup into a fielded area to run while attached to a 16 ft leash. Others let their dogs run free and a set of adjoining paths.
I am nervous around other dogs, but can sense most just want to join our gain of fetch. I hold Buckley back, but sense the tension on his leash is feeding his anxiety (he's naturally a bit skittish). I call out to the owners, who are often 250-500 feet away, to let them know my pup has snapped when frightened.
Is there a safer way to introduce two dogs when one's leashed but the other is not?

There is pretty much no situation I can think of that would have my leashed dog in the midst of a bunch of off-leash strange dogs.
I'd head for a place where you can take your leashed pup where there are no loose dogs.

To me, this is a setup for disaster for the young dog.
Sadly, people are supposed to have their dogs leashed, but some don't.
What should I do when this unfortunate situation happens?
Leave. Or, if you arrive and they're already there, go someplace else.
It sucks, but there you have it.

I agree 100% with Leih - you can not control (or depend on) other people to be responsible with their dogs, you simply have to protect your own. Keep searching - you will find somewhere safe!
