| Re: Tired of my dog acting "tough"
Glad that I checked out this thread, thanks for posting Sweetlee :) We are in the same boat, with a 2 year old girl, who has decided not only that her house and her yard is her territory but also her immediate neighborhood! I am working with her to manage her out of this, and the posted help will be muchly appreciated thx!
I noticed too, that she seems to react more so when we are out on our walks to any dog that barks at her... her trainer says that this may not be so aggressive as I thought but more so adopting the protecting role - apparently I have messed up and somehow allowed her to think that she needs to protect me (as well as my fiancee and our pug!).... my mistake :) am still learning.
I'll use your advice, guys, thanks! |
