I'm in the same situation. There is a German Shepard that hates all small dogs. Whenever we see her walking I crossed the street. This dog looks like a retired military dog but she is actually a rescue. Fortunately the owner is actively working on her aggression issues and I can see a huge improvement. We can now actually pass each other without her barking and lunging.
Now Dutch is an instigator and will start the barking first and this of course gets the GS going. Dutch gets really intimidated by dogs larger than her. She's fine with dogs her size or smaller. I am still working with her on trying to keep her from becoming so aggressive. Any tips? |
