I'm fostering a dog & Ive had for about 2 months. Shes about 8 months old, great w/ people& kids, not so great @ first w/other dogs. When first meeting another dog, or seeing another dog from a distance, she barks & its scary. Once she gets close, she will stop for a moment &sniff, but then goes right back at it. Its hard to tell if its partly that she is scared & doesnt know how to react. She was the same way @ first with my dog, but now theyre friends. The bad part, when shes barking & lunging forwards, she will turn around multiple times & nip @ whatever is there, the leash, or my leg. Shes hurt me, actually, which is my concern. Its like a little pinch, not a big bite. Shes not that large(on the small side, like 35lbs). Im worried for whoever adopts her,&really, it makes me so mad when she does it, I could take her back to the shelter right then & there. But if she goes back, they will put her down right away cuz the shelter is full & they were going to put her down before.
Considerations When Buying Dog Training Equipment
Recommended Answer:Heres what you need to do:
I have seen and done this many times and everytime it has worked.
When your dog is meeting a new dog, and it makes any aggresivness or dangerous movments toward another dog, say uh-ah and spray her with a water sprayer. It will not hurt her, it'll just show her what shes is doing is unacceptible.
Good luck!!
