I dont remember what were his techniques about this situation thou. I hope you could catch one of those episodes on Animal Channel. I tried to put myself in your position and I guess I would try to put my dog (dog which attacked by others) near me on the floor and if any others would come over with bad intentions I would move towards them so that way they could make few steps back and I say no. That usually teaches them to respect your space. All the others would see that you will defend your baby and start to respect. It worked when I tried to teach Maxi's cousin (she is a Cairn terrier). She is a bully and tried to bully him all the time until I started correcting her by stepping forward and if she would not move I would gently move her and saying no be nice. It worked for me,and now they are best pals. |
Just to clarify something, The Dog Whisperer is on National Geographic Channel, not Animal Channel. At least the new episodes are on there.
Also what you did by moving forward and challenging the cairn to move back is exactly what Cesar Millan would say to do!
I think you remember more about that episode than you realize. Maxi gave great advice Mallky, that is what I would do too.
