When Snowy was a puppy she got attacked by a large dog at the dog park (I think I told some of you that story already) now whenever a larger dog than her gets to close she snaps at it. (Snowy is pretty smart, huh, those things could crush her! lol) It always seems to happen with those dogs that just follow her and keep on sniffing her at the dog park. Or when you first go in there and there are about 6 dogs all at the gate. If she starts to snap at any of the dogs at the dog park I take her out and run around with her in the field near it. If I take her back in when there are no dogs too much larger than her, she is ok.
But one of the strange things is she gets a long with a huge collie that she had known before she was attacked and didn't meet at the dog park.
Could it be that she is scared of the dog park or just scared of the dogs in it?
