Agressive towards other dogs?

Jack was very much the same way...

The thing that helped us TREMENDOUSLY was going to obedience classes. We've been through 1 obedience class and 3 agility classes and I can see the difference. Set up play dates with dogs you know are friendly and constantly expose her to different people and dogs. I know how frustrating it can be...good luck!

What's weird about Molly though, is that she is totally fine at the dog park with every single dog.

I took her on a walk alone tonight, after I took the M&M's on a walk together, and she didn't act up as much when she saw other dogs than she does when Mickey is with us?

My friend has a horribly dog aggressive dog (BC/Aussie Cattle Dog X).

We've been working with Nanaboo to try to combat his aggression, and its working well so far.

We take him to a place where dogs have to be leashed (Petco, etc), and have a Gentle Leader on him. My friend has a pocket full of treats (I'm mostly just along to run interference should someone's dog get loose or something). We walk Nani around the store, letting him see other dogs and such. When he starts getting aggressive when he sees a dog, she pulls his head around (hence the GL) and holds out a treat. She makes him sit, lie down, do a trick, anything- As long as he's focusing on HER.

Its working well so far. Nani is learning to focus on her exclusively, and not pay attention to the other dogs.

Ebony was a lot like that when she was little. I walked her every day around as many dogs as I could. Sometimes I would make her sit if the dog was in a fence then I would give her a treat when she calmed down. We can walk by any dog now and she does fine. Sometimes I think they have to get used to being out and about around other dogs.

I think obdience classes will help socialize her more.
