Not sure how to deal with this problem guys so I am hoping some of you will be able to help me out.
How do you stop your Dobe from running full tilt into another dog and bowling it over.
Toby has this very annoying habit of literally playing hit and run with my other dogs to the point of his hurting them.
I have tried calming him down, I have tried taking him away from the other dogs, I have tried chastising him (voice) and whilst this works to make him look sorry and stop right at that very moment he soon forgets the telling off and starts up again and bowls over as it happens more often than not my old Boxer Bitch. She is old, overweight, with dodgy eyesight (in bad/poor light) topped off with sore paws and just simply cannot get out of his way fast enough.
Thing is, this is whilst he is out in the garden, not out on a walk as I no longer walk all my dogs together. Short from permanently removing him from my other dogs company, do any of you guys know how I might stop him playing hit and run?
