I would like to train my dog to ignore other dogs. We are planning on going camping this weekend and will probably encounter many other dogs, I'd like to start out doing the correct things right away. How can I train my dog Bindi to ignore other dogs? She gets very excited everytime she sees other dogs. I would classify it as agressive, just excited.
She was in a rescue organization and was housed with other dogs, even had one with her in the crate at the store.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Its a little late to start this training for an outing this weekend. Depending on the dog, the time it takes to teach this varies. Unless you want to spend the whole weekend working on your dog, You are going to have to leave her home or keep her on lead the whole trip to avoid any problems.
There have been numerous threads about this subject. I'm sure you'll find one if you do a search.
Howard:At our campground we always have to have out dogs on leads, so that will be what we will do with Bindi.
I am new to the forum and don't know how to do a search on the threads, could you help me in that area?
Thanks

An important peice of info left out. OK, get through the weekend as best you can then start the real work. At the top of the page you'll see a "Search" function. Just type in something like "animal aggression" or ignoring other dogs" and see what pops up. Also, look in the behavoral section of the main page and you'll find scads of advice. Good luck.
Bindi is about one year old. I think she is probably 8-9 months old. She is a terrior mix, very smart and submissive.
However, she was not trained at all when we got her so we have been working on the "come" command, and I have been teaching her to walk on a leash which she does. She is doing well. I just want to do what is right from the very beginning and have not gotten any video from Ed on the topic yet. We have basic obedience right now. rescued from a pet store, who rescued her from a shelter.

Dear Amber: The dog rescue brought the dogs into the pet shop. They rescue dogs from shelters and then try and find them homes. I don't know if the pet shop gets any of the money, but it does bring people into the pet shop (Pets mart and Pet co). I wish we had the good old pet shops, it seems like around here anyway all we have is the giant pet shops and people who don't know much about pets and a limited supply of pet products.
Anyway, I just wanted to be prepared to handle the situation correctly when we went camping. I have the basic dog obedience video and we are going to order to working pup video because it does have the topic I am looking for, but we wouldn't be getting it in time, so I was just looking for some info.
Thanks again.
God bless you
