Fence barking and snapped at me

[Storminagoblet]

My poor little dog is a sensitive soul who's been attacked three times. Once by a neighbour's dog but more of a launch and snap and snarl, once where the other dog tried to steal his ball and the dog then bit him and then a few dogs off lead who together launched at him. DH scooped him up and they bit his leg but not badly. Between each incident we'd been doing well and have seen a behaviourist but tje fence barking is ridiculous. We try to coordinate walks so dogs don't see each other as if they do, my dog lunges and barks (defensively I think after what happened ) but today I tried to pull him away from the fence as usual and he snapped at me. More of a warning and probably as he was highly aroused and stacked full of adrenaline. I dont think he'd bite me but now I'm wary.
I get that he's scared but there's a bloody fence and she can't get to him and now I'm scared he hates me for bringing him in. To make him feel safe.
I'm going to see if we can either plant up that area or put barrier but has anyone else any ideas or I try than maybe not letting him out at all at the back and always using a lead and the front of the house for toilet trips ?
All help welcome. I'll be back in touch with the behaviourist too.
We've cracked walks mostly (unless we see a husky or German shepherd or youth ina flappy black hoodie- which reminds me not to watch the Harry Potter with the dementors ). He's adorably cuddly and loving normally but Christ I wish he'd never had this experience. It's so hard when everyone else seemingly has perfect curly cute dogs and I have this mad terrier.

Hey
We have rescued a terrier.
Never been out for walks so is barky.
At first he would bark, snap, pull at anything that moved from dogs to cars to cats to a wheelie bin!
Over the last 5 weeks we have made progress. Car barking vastily reduced to noisy cars and barking at other dogs is only if they come near him.
Our doggy behaviourist said terriers r barky dogs, esp at things that move, and the barking at other dogs is either hello or they are protecting you. She advised when coming up to a situation calmly say good boy over and over again, keep walking, don't tense the lead and if they bark or lunge a short tug on the lead followed by no firmly and deeply.
Not sure if that's any help.
Also, dogs behaving badly on tv, he has some ideas.

Walks wise this is what we do- treats to distract or if he looks at me after spotting another dog. We cross so he has space and I dive into bushes and out of the way regularly and shout to other owners with off lead dogs that he is easily scared.
I really think he'd fight if he got through the fence. What's worrying me is that I've been able to just shout - if not near him "In" and he's come in. But today we would not leave the fence and was going beserk.
He's much more chilled with Dh. He is also a bad window starter and barks at passers by even when curtains are closed so I've not tried window film or anything. I have moved furniture around to remove a chair he used to sit and spy on the road from. So he now does a meerkat impression and barks if he sees someone.

If he won't come in when called, can you have a longline attached to his harness when he's outside so you can reel him in?

@fieldsofbutterflies this could be an option yes. A pain that I can't just open the door for a wee but may be necessary. Not sure why today he went more crazy than usual. I'd love to leave the door open for air and for him to come and go while I'm home but if he won't come in then might have to do this.

Ours went through a phase of this - he was also attacked by our neighbours dog and from then on, hated him on sight @Storminagoblet .

We let him out as normal but kept a very long lead attached to him - every time he started he got told "in!" and was reeled back inside and given a treat. After a few weeks of constantly repeating, we could lose the lead and he would just come when called.

The dog passed away a couple of years ago but we've since got new neighbours with dogs and he just ignores them (and he's a beagle so a gobby breed anyway!).

He's normally old this tbh and o can get him in but for now a long line sounds a great idea. We've just walked through the bluebells and he was just perfect. Met an exuberant spaniel who is just wagged tail at (girl puppy so maybe not a threat or just so damned cute he couldn't be scared ?!). We've had a cuddle and a chat about why barking at the fence is unnecessary which I'm sure will work ! 😅

Avoid most of what you see on dog's behaving badly op.
He is not a qualified behaviorist, or even a qualified dog trainer, and his methods are outdated to say the very least.

Film on the windows and lead on in the garden

the more a dog practises a behaviour the more it becomes the norm.

i say this kindly, having been there myself but it sounds like you could be making things more stressful

Shouting at owners etc just block the dog and say no if they come over. Apologies if I’ve misinterpreted your posts but I used to be a nervous wreck walking our dog and it made him so much worse. Even tho I thought I was being calm outwardly

try and stick to places they’ll be on a lead whilst you build his confidence that you can step in

id consider a different trainer/ behaviourist so you can crack it and build his confidence and yours
