When we are in park i let him off lead around small dogs but he still agressive even if the dog is not jumping on him.
He met the most shy yorkie girl, they had no contact at all. She was in the house with us for 2 days. This I find it weired  ) and when by mistake the yorkie girl came a bit closer to him, he snapped.
I try to do my best for him. I know he is not happy like that. He loves being outside, in parks. Would love to see him again mixing with dogs and play like he did before.
Thank you for your messages and for our care |
If he is aggressive when off lead, then he's an anxious dog around other dogs due to fear and insecurity in himself and isn't comfortable around strange dogs. More frequent socialization is very short increments is necessary and walking him in the small circles with the food lure in front of his nose will help train him to accept them as all dogs are not off lead and won't come up and jump on him. If a dog off lead approaches, use the umbrella or a stick to brandish before you and keep him off him. But keeping him distracted from the other dogs who are on lead with the food held in front of his nose and walking in tight circles will give him time to get used to other dogs walking past him or being near as well as getting a nice treat when outside. If he won't take the treats at first, after a few sessions of socialization walks when he gets more comfortable, he should, but the whole process for him to accept other dogs should take about two months if you work at it five days out of seven. It's not an easy process but will happen if you dedicate yourself to it. Good luck with the lessons!
