McGuire:
Dogs on leads will tend to respond aggressively to unwanted approaches. They're effectively confined and have no other course of action available, certainly not the flight option! All that's left to a cornered dog is to fight.

I wish it was that simple with ole Blue, he is the same off the lead :(
Thing is he misses out on so much because of the way he is, Ive had other bigger and thicker dogs that have always behave perfectly with other dogs but like Turner and Hooch at home :roll:
Small dog syndrome we put it down to.

Well Porky (my german shepard) is the softest mutt on the planet.
He would lick you to death!
Those who have met him know just what he is like!
Bob696:
Simple way to avoid this is to keep your dog on a lead as well. If you choose not to then you reap the rewards.
Range Rover Blues:
Unfortunately from a dog's point of view, being on a lead gives it far less options to deal with other dogs or strange situations, it often makes the dog more defensive (especially if the dog does not have a strong pack leader on the other end of the lead) and can lead to a dog becoming unaturally agressive.
But then jack Russels seem to have a bit of an inferiority complex, not my favourite dog.
