Hi All

Just jpined yesterday and have already had some valuable advice from you, so I think I will be spending a lot of time on here from now on!

I am blessed to have two wonderful dogs Chloe and Alfie. They are my life and its great to be in touch with so many likeminded people.

I do have one problem with my Alfie, he is unbeleivably insecure - he shows a lot of agression towards other dogs - we have tried a muzzle and it took him all of two seconds to get it off. We are lucky enough to live on a canal boat alongside a nature reserve so there is plenty of room for them to run free. Chloe is a diamond and we don't have to worry so much with her, but this makes me feel awful to him as he can't be let off all the time

I want them both to have the best life but this problem is really holding back on life for chloe too as we don't separate them so when we go to a friends who might have dogs we can't take them cos of the little man!

Any suggestions?

Hi there & welcome.

Hello and welcome to the forum

Hi & welcome to the forum ><

The only thing I can suggest is going back to basics with Alfie. I would start with keeping him on leash and taking him for a long walk. Once you have drained some of his energy try and find a spot where dogs will pass in the distance. Everytime one passes give Alfie a treat so he starts to assosiate other dogs with something good. Over time try and reduce the distance

hia from me and sasha
do you know any one that has a well socialized dog that you could walk with and get him used to other dogs.

welcome

Hello & welcome to the forum,

sounds like your dog just needs some more socialising & to experience happy times with other dogs & just make sure that your calm yourself when your out walking.

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

Hello and welcome from me and the kids

Hi all

Thanks for your replies.

I posted this on another forum (the right one!) And I will use an extra long lead with his harness and try him with my friends dogs as we'd like to go away together so hopefully slowly but surely!

Thank you

Hi there and welcome from Tyson & me.
