Oh these two year olds. Guess they are maturing and wanting the world to know they are "tough"?
I agree with AngelBunny, time to crack down.
I have been having problems with Dodge but not out on walks, it's in the house barking visciously at the mailman, ups guy, people walking down the street.
I looked at my part in this, and realized I had slacked off on my attitude towards him, and was probably treating him as an equal. Big mistake. So back to NILIF for the dog. No coddling him, no free treats, longer waits at the door when we go in and out. I am reestablishing this as MY territory, and I will decide who is ok and who is not. I have decided to be very firm, but always fair.
Have you ever used a pinch collar? They are great for walking unruly dogs, but you MUST know how to fit and use it properly, or the dog will learn to ignore the thing. And it is not for lifetime use, only for training.
If you do, I would use this for awhile, it really gives alot of control with not much effort. If not, hopefully a trainer you find will show you the proper use of one. I would carry tasty treats with me, chicken, cheese, hotdogs, all treats are not created equal. when the dog sees another, even before she gets worked up put her into a sit/stay while holding the treat under her nose. Start treating her.
Most dogs won't bother with other dogs in the area if they are being fed really tasty snacks. Being bad = no treat, plus a small pop on the collar.
Sitting still and being calm means the bar is open, keep treating until the dog is out of sight or at least out of mind.
Hopefully you will find a trainer soon, nothing will replace that.
