How do you stop dog aggression on a leash? Dogs Training Discussions
Socialized in a 6 week puppy class at 10 weeks old. He plays with other dogs of all ages at the barn, but was fearful of them at first. Now he is part of their pack. Very friendly with people. Gets excited when he sees other dogs during our walks, but should that dog look at him or bark, the aggression starts with the hair raising and growling/barking. He is kept on a loose leash during approach, but as he lunges of course I have to pull him back. He is kept at the heel position during walks. Have tried to keep his attention on me but no luck. I tell him to "leave it" and keep walking but he doesn't let it go. I am afraid of making it worse if I reprimand him. He is a 9 month old neutered Ger. Shep.
