So I called a trainer & they put us straight! Turns out she didn't think of me as the pack leader & felt it was her job to defend the fence/house! A few rather simple changes to my behaviour & it's like she's a new dog! :yippee: A dozen dogs have passed since & only one gentle barking fit which was quickly controlled unlike the maniacal beast that scared people witless in the past. Walking is now a pleasure, we pass within inches of other dogs now & she's reserved & polite....unless it's a big bouncy black pup who she can't resist rough-housing with! :rolleyes: We still have 5-6 weeks to go but the results of the first session were fantastic!
