[nagdu] Do you ever get angry with our dogs and how to controle it?

[Ioana Gandrabur]

Hi all,

I just had a frustrating incident with Loyal exactly repeated 2 days in a row. First time I was annoyed, next time I got upset but tried to not act angry. 
He just did his nr 2 and I was trying to position myself to mark the place when this small barky dog comes along. Loyal who basically never lurches towards other dogs in harness decides to dash towards it and I fell on my butt luckily not in the stuff I was supposed to pick up. I made him sit and accepted that I would not be picking up that time.

Today the exact same thing happens except I did not fall. I did obedience and tried to act calm but I was really angry for some minutes and also being upset at myself for being angry because Loyal is really so willing to please and easily affected by my mood.
How do you deal with being irritated with your dog? 

Take care and thanks for listening to my rambling.
