[nagdu] Barking

[Hope Paulos]

Hi there.  This happened with my dog when I got her and I've 
resolved the problem.  Now she doesn't even pay attention to 
dogs.  When you hear her start to get ramped upimmediately put 
her in a sit.  If she starts to lunge out of that sit toward the 
other dog, correct her and make her sit again.  When she has 
calmed down continue walking.  If she lunges again repeat the 
process abof
Hope this helps.
Hope and Beignet
