First hello to everyone here, I've been reading these forums for awhile and finally decided to join. I've got a lot of great info here and from Ed's site. I have an 11 month old Husky/Border Collie, female, spayed. She does have a dominant personality which makes her quite a challenge but I must say I get a real sense of accomplishment when my efforts pay off with her. She's my second dog, my first was a very easy going Lab/Spaniel who I don't think had a dominant bone in her body!! Anyway Bayley does have issues in the car, when she sees another dog, she goes into barking snarling mode. I do keep her restrained in the back seat but correcting her is difficult while driving. Since I live in a rural area I do tend to have to drive everywhere and I like taking her with me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm not opposed to any method as long as it is effective!! She also has the same problem meeting on leash dogs, and I am considering a prong collar or e-collar.
1 - Correct her for being aggressive while on lead. Make her sit while another dog passes by her and correct her for acting up or praise for being good.
2 - With the car. Put her in the car and make her wear a training collar and attach a leash. Have someone walk a dog by the car while parked and correct her for acting up, and praise her for being good.
This may take some time to train, but I think it will help.
Also doing obedience with the dog will help the bond between you two and show her who the boss is.
Thanks for the info. My friend just happens to have 2 little dogs and she's willing to help with the walk bys. I think we'll start off with them walking by a distance off and then work up to where they're right up to the car. I'm hoping the weather warms up though, her little dogs aren't great in the cold!!
