Dog's dislike of certain other dogs.
21 Answers
My dog has made many doggie friends on her walks, but some dogs she seems to hate and when she sees them approaching she barks frantically and I have to hang on to her with all my strength. Is there any cure for this behaviour? She is lovely with all people. This appears to be her one vice. She is a rescue dog so I don't know if anything happened to her to cause this behaviour.

<Charlie saw one of her "enimies" about 200 yards in front of her she started to bristle up and I said to her very calmly, "let's wait until he has gone." She stood by my side and waited until he was out of site and then quietly profceeded on her journey. She seems O.K. if the other dog has not seen her and eyeballed her. She late came across two bassets, and she was about to start barking when one of them looked at her and gave a friendly bark and she was O.k. Perhaps I am sending out different signals, who knows. >
Thats good Bettypat, the calmer we are, the calmer the dog should react. Perhaps reward this calm behaviour in her when she does not react and that will help even further.
