| I had something along the same lines happen while walking with Beetle and Bella. Beetle is a rescue that has had to overcome some fear issues. While on leash he tends to get a little nervous when a strange dog approaches. If i put him in a sit he is fine in about 30 seconds. When i walked the two of them i got lazy and stopped working on this problem, one day a man approached with a dog that was barking and acting crazy, instead of stopping and letting Beetle gather himself i walked towards the man and his unruly dog, i could tell Beetle ws a little nervous and out of nowhere he turned on Bella and pinned her to the ground. We worked on the problem for a few weeks and he is now over this fear. Anxiety, fear,and frustration, can all transform into aggresion. Just becasue a dog does this does not make it an aggresive dog in my book they just need some immediate training to correct the problem. |
