TITLE is so people read this and maybe I get a response.
My original post is as follows
13 month old German shepard/Pitbull mix
Pound Puppy, adopted her at 8 months old
On or off lead she completely ignores my commands when another dog or cat is around. I have followed the book quite close, and I am unable to figure this one out. I have tried dragging her in the opposite direction, even when I see what is about to happen and let the lead loose so Im not pulling her back. It doesnt matter if I bring the other animal to her attention or not! SAME RESULT, I have trained her religiously with the book for the past 5 months. This one I cant break her of. All I hear from friends shes a puppy and thats what puppys do.
Shock Collar seems like the only option
Just tonight same thing, I grabbed her snout to give her a deep rahhhhh and she snapped at me. The other dog was 50 feet away and she was freaking out. She is going to eventually get hurt the way she acts.
