Please dont judge me its only a question.
Since I came back from a recent meet whereby Tara had an altercation with a medium sized black dog after it attacked her she has gone absoloutly doo dally at the site of one. She has always had a thing about Motorbikes and getting aggressive towards them but I have always been able to cope with that.
However now, she has become completely mad toward other dogs that are large lab,collie size. She has attacked 3 in the last week and practically pulled me over today in her attempts to get at another owner who owns one.
This is something completely new, anyone who knows her would see how placid and fun she is with other dogs normally so I cant work out whats happened. I have tried the ignore, dont let her face it type of stuff but she will not take any notice. I am now having to keep her on a lead at all times which I really don't like doing.
Anyhow, I have been reading about electric dog collars as a training aid. I have seen they have been banned in Wales, but have read some very good stuff about there ability in training this sort of behaviour, especially the situation with say motorcycles. I note that Ceaser millan uses a form of shocking by using his hand for his famous "tisting" Although I note that It would be cruel to use it on a puppy, can you see any bennefit in using it as a correction aide? It is really distressing to see how aggressive Tara has become with these dogs, as well as embarrasing and Im not talking about using it to teach her circus tricks.
So anyone used one and anyone have any advice?
TIA
