Can anyone make any suggestions?
The dog is aggressive towards other dogs and walked on the lead. He understands the clicker. He looks up immediately when he hears it and has his treat. But it doesn't work when he is anywhere near another dog. He will just about respond if the dog is far enough away (ie, across the other side of the field) but if the dog is within 25 feet he will not even look at me (and I am also having to control him as he writhes and snarls trying to get to the dog - not an easy task as he is very strong).
What can I do now? I feel like it is starting to lose its 'punch' as it were and I think repeatedly clicking while he ignores me makes the whole method ineffective.
