Staying safe around playing dogs

[carmel lowry]

Joey is good on recall now and we can let him off lead to romp around at his own speed. When we

meet other dogs the running games start which is great for the dogs but I am wondering how can

I train him to give us a wider berth !  I had a golden labrador who was wonderful never jumped up on people but who managed to break my ankle, she ran back and did not stop in time, I got a brake and dislocation that required surgery.  The result was when my leg was better I never wanted to be the one to take her out off lead. I now lightening is unlikely to strike twice but Joey ran back yesterday at back full speed between my legs nearly taking me out.  Any suggestions on how you can train dog to respect human personal space !!

It's amazing how much they don't look where they are going isn't it? I usually just bend my knees every time he comes by (he hyper-extended my knee once) and hope he doesn't hit.
