Daisy has slight fear aggression..
(I HATE TO ADMIT THIS) But it is usually the worst around small children, and bikes... She is just dealthy afraid of them.. I bought her a prong collar and took her into a few petstores to socialize, but I have noticed that people will not let their children come near her, because they are afraid of when she might do.. I think seeing a Pitbull on a cholker gives a bad impression??
I have been walking her every second day, getting her out and around kids.. Anytime a child rides by on a bike, or comes up to give her pets, she literally would dart out into traffic if she wasn't on that prong collar!!
Yesterday we had my boyfriends nefew over for a visit (hes 1 years old) and Daisy was sooo afraid of him, She even barked at him and ran down stairs as fast as she could. I forced her to come upstairs, and sit with me and his nefew, she was shaking so badly.. She was soo afraid..
I went on petting her with his nefews hand, and she cowered with her tail right inbetween her legs, she was still shaking prefusly... What can I do to stop her from acting so rediculas??? I honestly dont know what she would do if a toddler/child cornered her.. I'm afraid she might lash out..
And because we have a Baby on the way, it makes me really nervous.
Any suggestions?? I have contacted a local trainer, but I really dont agree with her method of training. I wish the Dog wisperer would come here lol
