How to keep my dog from barking at other dogs during our walks? Dog Breed Discussions
My dog is about 2 years old, female, spayed, and overall very sweet. She was found dumped in the country by my dad's house when she was just a puppy. She grew up with 2 other dogs and a mess of farm animals. She is some type of hound mix, we think possibly American Foxhound but it is hard to say really.We have had her just a couple months and she has been such a sweetheart. She knows most commands, but usually won't do any unless she wants to (usually for a treat). She doesn't bark at home unless to alert us of something, but not in an annoying way. The problem: I love to take her for walks, but everytime we pass another dog she goes crazy barking at them. Her tail wags the whole time, but if I introduce her to the dog she tries to jump on top of them. My guess is she wants to play but wants to be dominate, but I'm no expert. She has a dog friend she plays nicely with and we've introduced her to other dogs she plays nicely with them, after the jump on top thing is over.
