Does Your Dog Like Other Dogs?
This is just a random thread :p
Piddle isn't good with other dogs, he only likes one dog, which is my uncles dog, and he only started liking her when she went into heat :eek: :o
Wiggles does ok with certain dogs.
Jasper loves them all ;)
What about yours?
Jasmine doesn't like other dogs
We adopted a cattle dog in 2002 from a rescue group....she was 2 yrs old at the time. Initially, she didn't seem to mind strange dogs. Thru out the duration of her first obedience class, she behaved herself like a princess. But gradually, over 4-6 months with us, she startled us by becoming "leash" aggressive towards dogs on our walks. [Going off leash didn't seem to help, either].
We have worked w/her these last two years with professional behaviorist's and she still gets her hackles up and will snap at a dog if it gets too close. We use "treats" to keep her "occupied" when we pass dogs on our walks....it does the trick unless the other dog gets too close or is an "reactive dog" too.
We've pretty much accepted that this is just the way she will always be.
She came w/very little background info when we adopted her.
She is extremely well trained, and very affectionate.......her aggression towards dogs seem to be "fear" induced.
