I have had my 8 year old Terrier for 5 months. She is my first dog. When she arrived she had all sorts of issues and was very timid absolutely scared of everything. Over the months she has changed a great deal. She is very good at home , has grown in confidence and is now mostly a pleasure to walk.
I can never let her off the lead and most of the time she walks quite closely to me. The problem is when off lead dogs approach her in the park, she snarls and snaps.
Part of me feels embarrassed and I used to apologise, but now I just try to get her away. The problem some dogs are so insistent with following her. If you walk your dog off lead how would you feel about the snarling and snapping.
