Hi guys. Robert has noticed that Mishka is starting to show a bit of aggression towards other dogs when he is out with her. Any ideas???? She is definitely not getting away with it. |

I wondered if could have been she was close to a season and was quite grumpy! It can't be that then! |

Does this aggression occur off or on lead? Or both? Perhaps he holds the lead too tight, or tightens it when he comes across other dogs if she's on a lead, therefore telling her there could be something to be concerned about. Just a thought. |

We know all the general rules Nicola so are very careful not to make mistakes like that. We have had dogs in the past. Thanks for the advice though. |

Debby is this connected to her problem of being a bit clingy on the walks and becoming a wee bit afraid (or is it only Dodge she has become wary of)
Is she experiencing a change in her 'place' in the pack - both within the walks and at home. you know when people feel they are not in control of part of their world - they are over controlling in the situation where they can be. ie man bullied by wife at home can be a right sh!t to the people who work under him.
If Mishka is feeling bullied and scared on the walks, is she maybe just asserting her authority on a one to one because she feels she can. but what do I know. but she seems to be going through a real change. |
