Aggression with strangers I know this has been gone over before, but I am so upset right now I am ready to cry!!! Tonight I went to PetSmart and took Lex with me. She was in her carrier (I am afraid to let her out- haha) and this woman walked right up to her carrier. Lexie freaked out and started snapping and gorwling. the whole store could hear her- talk about me wanting to crawl under a rock!!
Yes- I know all the training "rules"- I have spent more $$ than I can count trying to train her (and I did have a very good trainer that HAS helped to a large extent) She was not abused, has been socialized as a baby. This is making me CRAZY!! For those of you that have never had issues like this, please don't bother replying to pass judgement- I am upset enough and do not need more stress!! Is there ANYONE else in the forum that simply for whatever unknown reason, cannot get their Yorkies to be nice and social? Lexie is FANTASTIC with my family and close friends. She is also GREAT with the groomer,vet,ect. But God forbid someone walk up to her that she doesn't know!! Then its WATCH OUT!!
I am frustrated and feel so alone! I am ready to just start leaving her at home. But I like having her with me. It would help me so much to know that I do not have the only dog in the world like this! By the way, she is almost 3 and I have been dealing with this since the day I got her (10wks old)
