[Deegan's mom]

Deegan thinks he's this rough n' tuff lil' man... When I take him out for walks and he sees another dog sometimes he's fine and will walk by without a peep, but then other times (especially when the other dog doesn't seem to be interested in him) he flips out!!! Goes crazy barking, pulling & growling! It's like he's offended that the other dog didn't acknowledge him. It's embarassing and I don't know how to stop it. Tonight for example we went for a walk and there was this guy that rollerbladed by with his doberman & black lab and Deegan went nuts!!! I tried controling him by correcting with his leash, by using a firm voice & then I finally picked him up to cover his muzzle and he just kicked and scratched me all to hell trying to go after these dogs that would eat him like an after dinner mint! I just don't know why it's some dogs, not all... and I don't know how to correct it! I wish I could get Cesar Milan to come to my house. Any suggestions?
