Bandit is terribly dog aggressive He is horrible, I dont know what to do about it, even at the dog school he makes a terrible scene, he is onl 3.75 lbs for heavens sake. Is it that some dogs never become dog friendly? |
I am looking for some advice on this same topic! Cooper (4.5 months old) is so sweet at home. We have a Jack Russell Terrier that he LOVES and my sister has a pit/boxer who Cooper can't stop kissing. Last week we went to puppy class and I put him in a "socializing" pen with two other (smaller) dogs. He became aggressive and snapped at the other dogs. The instructor told me that he was feeling threatened and was warning the other dogs off. Fair enough. Today we went to Pet Food Express and I was walking Cooper on his leash. A larger puppy approached, so I picked Cooper up. Well, he went NUTS. Barking and snarling. Everyone laughed. But I want to put a stop to this behavior. Has anyone gone through the same thing? Any advice would be great!!! |
So you have two aggressive dogs? Wow! Good luck... |

In the best intrest of the dogs and yourself- get a session with a trainer! Unless you know you can handle it- I could not- I hate to spend the unplanned money- but it would be more than worth it in the end! I wish you well, it has to be hard when you know there is a sweet lovey dog in there also- so I am sure there is more than hope! the one with 2- could the new one be making the other aggressive- out of fear, or something? I'd just go with a pro- if even for just 2 sessions! |

Well, you're not alone. My Lilly all 4 lbs. of her has to be picked up high whenever other dogs are around - big or small. Her ears turn beat red inside and you can see the veins popping (LOL) and she wants to eat them. I guess it's not funny but to see it - you can't help but crack up. This little tiny 4 lbs. dog thining she's a rotti or something. We're working on it with her too but I really do think that part of it is just their nature. She gets along great with sisters (My other Yorkies) just not with other dogs outside our family. Good Luck. Elaine |

LMAO please read the thread before replying, as your reply is really a joke. Original post Dated January 22, 2008. First off, hte topic was MADE a week before this new dog ever came into existence to me, Bijour came into our lives on January 28, 2008:rolleyes: . Second, there is a huge differnce between dog aggressive and barking at other dogs and a dogt who tries to bite people. Bandit barks at OTHER dogs big or small and makes a scene. He is gentle and polite to people. you really made my sunday, I needed a good laugh today thanks |

That is what I have to do with Bandit, because he actually ignites a brawl with the other dogs:rolleyes: |
Buddy started picking and choosing his friends at age 1. I remember it distincly because we were out walking and a neighbor came along with her husky. They have always been friends in the past, I made sure he was well socialized from day one. Well, I was relaxed on the leash because they knew each other but Buddy pulled from me and ran aggressively toward the Husky snapping at his feet! I was horrified! What happened? We'll that was 2 1/2 yrs ago and he still hates his old friend! He has big dog friends and loves all small dogs but a big dog he does not know he acts like a mad pit bull! He's fine at the vet's with large dogs and was also at the groomer's but I really have my hands full when were walking and along comes a dog he does not know. It's embarassing really and I have been working on this for a couple of years. Sometimes he's alright other times he just goes plain crazy. You never know from time to time. He loves kids and people. Strange. |

Extreme Dog Aggression My Mignon has developed extreme aggressive tendencies toward other dogs while we are walking. Like Bandit, she simply goes beserk - barking, pulling, snarling, and snapping! She doesn't bother about cats, birds, squirrles, or racoons - but heaven forbid if she sees another dog. I am currently using the wonderful step-in-harness that ChattiesMom offers (and I love them), but realize something has to be done about this nasty habit. How would you compare the Halti Head Collar (over the muzzle) with the Premier Easy Walker Harness. I am very concerned about anything that says "collar" due to the tracheal issues with our babies. Does the harness provide the same benefits as the Halti? I am also investigating additional training classes for her (new PetSmart is opening near me on Saturday) but not too sure if they have a class that will help with this issue. If anyone can recommend a good trainer in the Tampa area (Dade City, Wesley Chapel, New Tampa, etc.) it would sure be appreciated!! Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions! |
