Our 7ish year old Yorkie rescue is as good as gold at home and lovable beyond words, BUT whenever we take her out for a walk (on leash) she goes after any other dog (big or small) in sight, lunging, barking, snarling -- it's like she's gone completely nuts! We've tried training collars, turning her away (as best we can), flipping her over on her back and holding her down (much to the disapproval of others passing by) -- it worked for a while, but she's back to her old ways and we've exhausted all efforts to stop this behavior. Does anyone have suggestions as to what we can do? She needs the exercise and so do we. Any help would be so appreciated. Thanks for listening.
