She'll actually "scream" as if the dog is chewing her to pieces and they haven't even touched her!!! Just came close to her! It's embarrassing and very frustrating and I don't even know what to do. She acts terrified and as much as I try getting her around other dogs she acts like this everytime!!!  |
I believe these dogs are not secure with your role as the pack leader, so they are trying to take over the job.
You ABSOLUTELY MUST establish yourself as the Pack Leader. then correct the behavior in a calm assertive manner. If you show any anxiety they will pick up on it.
