I have a dog from Leader Dogs. Today my dog Myrtle started barking at
another dog before she saw it and before the dog started barking. She has
done this ever since she has got home. I ahve contacted leader dogs and have
tried a gentle leader. I have tried leash corrections and verbal corrections
with no luck. I think it is aggressive behavior because her tail goes up and
her ears are forward with her fur behind her shoulders and tail sticking on
end. She lunged at a dog tonight and I almost fell on the ice. Otherwise she
is a very good guide. Normally she barks at a dog when she sees them and
lunges at them. What do you guys think. I have contacted my trainer several
times and the suggestions she has told me to do have not worked out. I'm
worried I am going to get hurt one of these days because my dog pulls so
hard. I don't know if I will go with LD again. I would like this to stop or
at least be able to get my dog under control. I don't want to go to student
seminars because she can't even handle one dog let alone alot of them.
