Its better to visit a good dogforum to ask questions. Or buy some books about raising dogs and training dogs. But you should be carefull with that too, cause there are still lots of people trying to teach you the wrong way. Books about positive training methodes works the best. Its based on rewarding instead of punishment. 9 out of 10 times the dog gets agressive cause he’s scared or insecure. Did my tip helped your dog so far? And how does your dog react to other dogs when he’s of leash?

when she is offleash,she charges at other dogs and kind of scares them,but she puts her front paws down in a playing mood,but she runs way to fast up to other dogs

Oke, i saw this kind of behaviour before with other dogs. It’s likely your dog had a bad expirience (probably with your trainer, who’s incompetent to teach). Keep rewarding good behaviour as i told. But you really have to ‘read’ your dogs bodylanguage. If she’s not actively showing wrong behaviour but only with bodylanguage, you dont want to reward that either. She really has to show good behaviour for the reward.

Also, try to get in touch with owners of stable, slighty dominant, social, secure dogs. You definitely want to practice with dogs like that. I think she doesnt know how to play anymore, cause of traumatic expirience. She should get lots of practice with stable social dogs to show her not allz dogs are bad. She should learn to ignore dogs when she’s on leash, and play with them of leash. Might take weeks or months before it starts to show effect thow. Dont give up.

Great video, as a trainer it is SO irritating to work with people who hire you, then don’t want to listen to you, then expect you to train their dog to be perfect in one hour. I enjoy watching the training shows on animal planet and NatGeo in my spare time, but I’ve seriously had owners say things like “well (insert famous trainer name here) fixed a dog like mine in one episode on their show. . . ” People get dog’s and don’t realize it takes time to train them.

I see what you mean. I want to be a trainer myself but I know that there will be times when they will not listen, and not be happy when you inform them that they are doing it wrong and advise how to do it right.

Love how he acknowledges that there are more than one way to train a dog and that the be all and end of all training is the effectiveness of owners in following through.
