I'm starting to think about the won't take food=high stress. When we tried to de stress my female pittyx by placing her next to a very large very calm shephard she would never take food. She stopped growlin but never got to a calm enough state to take a treat. I think she became calm because eventually she knew the shephard and his owner(she was one of the trainers). I've just kind of given up and am happy with her not snapping at dogs. I always warn people not to let there dog try and go nose to nose with her. Now I'm wondering if I should start again and try and find a tastier treat, maybe even return to skipping a meal before hand. She's been out of training for a while due to an injury so it may very well be like restarting.
I missed the first part of this??
But if you ave a dog with fear issues, I wouldn't put her in a position where she is too stressed to take a treat.
that much stress is enough to be a negative reinforcer by it's self.
I would fond out where her comfort zone is and keep her there, slowly working closer and closer.
I think too many people try to get their dogs Happy to have other dogs nearby.
All I think is needed is to have the dog under control and nonreactive around other dogs....Ignore them totally.
