Dog toward Dog Aggression
Can anyone think of a way of helping me with my 18 month old Black Lab, I got him from a dog rescue centre when he was 14 months old. He had never been given any training I found out after I'd took him, everything was new to him... eg: leafs blowing on the ground, streams, birds, other dogs.. and so on. His teeth were very sharp, so had never had a bone to chew, he went mad when he saw people, sheep and so on. Since I've had him I've got him heeling, sitting, staying, down, leave and he's now very good with people and sheep, birds etc. The problem is that on a walk if he sees another dog his ears point forwards, his head erects and his tail slowly wags, nothing.. and I do mean NOTHING will snap him out of this trance, as he get closer he gets fast and will not heel, he then goes all out to attack the other dog. If I turn round and walk away from the other dog before we get to it he will not stop looking round and pulling me back. Treats will not distract him as we get closer. haltis, choke chains, harnesses don't work. noise distraction doesn't work. He is at dog training classes and spends most of the lesson trying to attack other dogs, the trainer has worked hard with him but with no sucess as yet. The dog was neutured at the late age of 14 months when I got him. As I say, I've got him into a wonderful happy dog, perfect in everyway but for the attacking dogs, he with walk close pass many many sheep with no trouble at all now, that took a lot of training but he's come through at last, it's just the dogs issue and I see no light at the end of the tunnel. Any thoughts would be helpful as I'm at a loss on what to try next.
