We adopted a 1 yr old lab about a month before lockdown, she went into season just after we got her and we were due to start training classes literally as lockdown came into force, so nothing is running at the moment.
She walks really well on harness and halti (has throat problems so can't use a collar).
Difficulty is she is very reactive to other dogs, only has to see one and will start to bark, then starts to jump and lunge. At the moment we're distracting her with a treat and walking on, but like this morning we had 3 dogs coming from different directions and she all but starts to spin, jump and bark at the same time! Is there anything else we can do apart from distraction with treats? She's not aggressive with the barking and isn't anywhere near the dogs, but we don't want to leave it months and then find she lunges at the first dog she gets close to
