I taught Buddy look at me from day one. We started out for a sec, then added to that over time until today he will look at me forever, if I let
him, until he's released. Outside he's a nut case when he sees a big dog.
Only big dogs. Other dogs he loves. Drives me nut's. Loose leash? What's
that? I've tried everything. My arm get's so tired of yanking him back to me.
I make him sit before I cross the road. When I do make him sit he immediately
starts looking for dogs thinking one is coming
because I tried that
as well, making him sit when a big dog is across the street from us
to give him a treat. I stand infront of him to block his view. He ignors
the treat and tries his best to look around me at the dog. It's crazy.
I have registered him in a group session with other dog's. This should
be fun. I think we will get thrown out the first session when he
sees the other dogs but I have my finger's crossed being away from his
environment he will behave and give big dogs a chance. If this does
not work then I guess I'll just give up because there's nothing else
I can do.
I passed a big dog, don't know the owner, last week and he went
looney on me. The owner of the big dog called him a chicken.
I laughed because he really is. I don't know who he's trying to
impress because when a dog acts like this he's truly is afraid.
I have no idea where this fear came from. He never had any kind
of encounter with a big dog.
