[nagdu] ranting handling skills?

[Nimer Jaber]

Lora,

You got a protective dog. I'm going to have all kind of people
disagreeing with me here, but to me it's a goo dsign that your dog
will lunge and protect you from other dogs. My dog will wag, lick, and
if a dog came too close and started barking, she'd shake and lay down.
That being said, have you tried something like a gentle leader when
you know you're going to be around dogs that he may try to lunge at?

Thanks
Nimer J
