Good deed for today

Took Butters to the dog park in the evening. He spent the entire time trying to hump a female dog. While he was doing that, I noticed a family come in their their tiny little maltese puppy. A frisky husky puppy was picking on it, the maltese got scared and the owner picked him up. I observed them some more and they really seemed like they didn't know what they were doing. So the next time she picked him up, I walked up to her and told her she's basically rewarding his fearful mindset. I told her to leave him on the ground and watch his tail. If his tail is in between his legs, then help him by blocking the bigger dogs but don't pick him up. Otherwise let him figure out how to interact with other dogs. By the time they left, the little one had his tail up and exploring and trying to sniff out other dogs, but came running back and hide between human legs if anything scared him. Yay! One less fearful dog for the future!
