Hi there, i hope you do not mind my attack of questions.
My dog has a habit of barking and growling at other dogs when she is on the lead and even though she is harmless and just wishes to play most people are afraid to let their dogs near her so it makes socialising difficult.
She is six years old and for the past year i have not managed to find a suitable "working" way of training her out of it.
I have tried a muzzle to stop the fears of others, I have tried a canny collar, i have tried a pinch collar, neither work to stop the pulling and the barking i can usually only stop by making her sit and ocassionally having her lie down whilst i hold my arm over her neck, it sounds harsh but i do not harm her (usually the owners panic if she throws a tantrum so i have to get her out of the way to make her calm down) after a few minutes of seeing a dog she usually behaves pretty well but people never stick around that long. She is a stubborn dog and with the canny collar she always pulls out of it, with the pinch collar she learnt after a few days that she could in fact pull and it would not hurt her, i am considering getting an ultrasonic collar in hopes that it will help teach her not to bark, i am hoping this will also stop people being afraid of letting their dogs near her as if she is not barking she wont be as "scary" is this a good idea or does anyone else have a better suggestion? Again, i do not harm my dog and i never would, i do not force her to lay and pin her down, i just convince her to stay down or she is not allowed to see the dog in question.
And yes she is friendly, i know for a pure fact, i let her near the dogs and she only ever wishes to play, she has never harmed a dog and many a dog trainer will tell you the same, she is only telling me that she wants to go over to the dog, but i can not socialize her when she behaves this way. She is a German shepherd cross, on the small size, but people fear her so much it worries me.
I am curious to know what is "NOT TRUE"
I know this is not aggression, i know it is fear related, and i also know she is not aggressive.
Dorothy i thank you for your advice, but i have to say it has been tried and tested, she has her moments when she wont bark or she stops instantly…But people are not very social here and then she misbehaves more when she doesn’t get to go towards the dog in question after "behaving"
No i will not hit her because hitting a dog teaches it nothing but more fear.
I ignore her if she barks or pulls, sure she is pretty strong and if she tried hard enough i’d be on my ass but i ignore her nonetheless, i’ve been doing this for so long, she has learnt that i’m doing it to make her "stop barking and pulling" but if i then go near dog, say the dog comes around the corner, off the lead, without an owner (as most do) BOOM! she’s off with the attitude, i have noticed she only snaps at any dog if it growls at her first when she causes a scene and if they run sh

He receives a safe but annoying static stimulation. Your pet will quickly learn the association between his behavior and your correction; in no time, you’ll have a better-behaved pet. The tone-only button can be used as an alternative to static correction, or as a warning immediately before a static correction.

They are looking for the final solution to dog barking and unfortunately (in my opinion) many also went for the less nice option of using bark collars and other anti bark devices. Many years ago I stumbled upon a quite simple bark stop solution. I have successfully used this method on my own dogs and also helped several of my friends. You don’t have to buy anything and this will stop dog barking at people, at the doorbell, bikes, lawnmowers, strangers, other animals and I would say anything you could think of. It is a method that works 24/7 and you are in total control. Unfortunately this will not help you to stop neighbor’s dog barking.

I keep them here and there in the house and whenever I see she is doing something good, I beep/click them. it works! better than yelling at them
