I have a 1 1/2 yearold Austrailian shepherd. She is not the show dog style so she is small and petite around 40lbs. She runs with me upto 13 miles at a time and has lots of energy. At around a year she really began to settle and become a great dog to have. I have worked on basic obedience and training.
She has always been great around people and dogs. However, a few months ago a gentleman teased her very harshly through a sliding glass window to the point she squatted and went to the bathroom. Since then she has been showing signs of aggression towards people and dogs. She doesn't do well greeting dogs or people on leash real well. Sometimes she will snap at them and often she will lunge and bark very aggressively. With other dogs she will allow them to check her out for a minute then she will lunge at them. Off leash she is tenative around dogs but will often get them chasing her and she will settle.
I have worked on not removing her from the situation but making her sit at my feet and calm down. I have worked on excercise and becoming the alpha but she is still not there. A few weeks ago I moved across the country and what progress I had made we lost some ground on. I am just not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
Thankyou
