The doghouse

Hi, lots to say about our puppy, we bought her having heard such amazing things about the breed, and while in many ways she's a total dreamboat (affectionate, super smart, picked up toilet training etc. and everything real quick) shes also a total monster when it comes to other dogs.
Ever since we first had her she was terrified of other dogs (seemed really confident with her littermates, but was one of the smallest ones) and it's now got the point that if she sees a dog in our building complex, she either attacks, barks like a demon, chases, generally looses her sh*t. We're now on our 3rd dog trainer, who is really rather good but we still can't take here ANYWHERE indoors (cafe, pub, hotel) as if another dog appears she will be uncontrollable and LOUD. Has anyone else had a similar experience/any ideas what we should do? Before you ask we took her to all the puppy training sessions, tried to socialise her, read all the books, did all the reccommended Training stuff (except crating - she was quick to learn toilet training so we didn't need to, and she really hated it.). We're at our wits end and if i thought anyone would take her we'd honestly probably have rehomed her by now, but I just don't thing anyone would be able to handle her and I can't bear to think of her being given to a 'pound' Sad.

Ive got a reactive dog. We got him at about a year and he was a nightmare. We built up his conference and stuffed him with treats to distract him from other dogs.

It’s taken a lot of time and patience, but he’s so much better.

Phuquocdreams don’t be so disingenuous. You asked another poster who was not offended if she had disabled children in her family, implying that she was not offended because she did not - a fairly offensive assumption.
