I think your dog is gorgeous.I have a german sheperd and found the halti collar gave me much more control over him.He is a strong dog and used to pull me all over but as soon as i put it on the pulling stopped and i could direct him more.

thanks clare any pics of yours? i just took her out and when she started to fixate on the dog i used one of her treats to get her attention ,she didnt know which to go for lol but she didnt bark though it was dark so it might have helped a bit but will see what shes like in the day, still going to get a halti collar

Hi

Not sue how old your dog is or how long you have had him.

Sounds to me like he is leader of the pack and wanting to protect you
You need to make sure you are the leader.

Teach him to watch you
Get his favourite tit bit
whenever you can say watch me, I used to do it when the tv commercials were on loll
When he looks at you reward him
When you go for a walk continue this especially when another dog is coming towards you, do not tell him off he is not doing wrrong just protecting you
You have to let him know your the boss and not to have any worries
Good luck it will take time but keep at it

thanks pammy i dont think shes pack leader shes very submissive to the family, i will give the look at me thing a try

Hi
Sounds like a Leash aggression to me. Dogs that shoe aggression or fear signs only on a leash. Usually caused by frustration when they are not allowed to move towards something they want.

There is an exercise you can practice at home that will make it easier for her outdoors. Put a target on the floor. A target can be anything she likes: a toy a treat... put her on a leash and start walking towards the target. If she keep the leash loose praise her and give her treats. If she pulls or bark turn around and walk away. Allow her to get to the target only when she is quite and not pulling.

I would try not to prevent her from things she want to get close to (like other dogs) but getting closer only when she is quite and reinforce for that.

I do recommend using a head collar
