I have the exact same problem. The bigger they are the worse he gets!
Buddy was friendly, I made sure of it, with all the dogs in my complex.
He has today labs, pits a sharpae, hounds all large that he has no
problem with , however he has known them since he was a puppy.
Any new comer in the neighborhood drives him into a frenzy.
I really think he thinks they are on his turf and is protecting me.
I have tried treats, cheese, chicken whatever to calm him when I see
them coming and cross the street, dosen't matter. I was thinking of
getting a trainer but they are so expensive here. I went through this with
with a terrier mix and said I would never go through it again and here I
am. He actually broke loose from me one day and went after a Husky I
almost fainted. The Husky just looked at him as he was attacking it's feet!
I was lucky that day, that's when it started. He was 1yr old.
Sorry I can't help you because I have been going through the same thing
for 2yrs! Good luck and let me know if you find an answer!
Vets, groomer he is fine around other dogs. |
