I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. My spoo, Nigel is 8 months old. I got him at 4 months old and he was neutered 2 weeks ago.
I own a pet spa/boutique. Nigel has come with to the store almost daily since I got him, so he is very well socialized. I also have two giant schnauzers, and all dogs get along great.
From the first time Nigel met a boxer in my store he barked, growled and lunged. He also exhibits this behavior with bulldogs, mastiffs, bullmastiffs, etc.
He is fine with all furry dogs, smaller dogs, bigger dogs, labs, goldens.
Just really reactive with bully type dogs, with underbite type faces.
Doesn't seem to mind pits, rotties, dobes.
My store has a self-serve wash so all types of dogs are in & out. Many of my regular dog food customers have these types of dogs and bring them in shopping.
Anyone ever have this issue? I'm really curious if others have had this happen with their spoo. He never had interaction with these breeds prior to becoming mine.
I am trying positive reinforcement techniques, have clicker trained all of my dogs.
He will be taking a training class soon, but really is already well trained and well socialized.
Help!
