Hi all,
I have a very submissive female dog who is generally mindful and well-mannered, but when I take her out on leash she growls and barks at other dogs. When we're at the dog park, she plays well, so I think it has to do with the leash. Does anyone know why she's doing this? Any strategies to make her quit? Right now I try to make her sit or lay down when a new dog comes into view but that's not terribly practical. I've had her for about 3 months and she's about a year old.
Thanks,
Robin
