I have an almost 1.5 year old rescue pup, she’s a bloodhound mix and is the sweetest with me and others she met as a puppy. After turning about 8 months old the reactivity started to set in. She is now reactive on leash when she encounters other dogs and growls at people on the street. She’s most reactive when people try to come to the house which is the worst experience and today growled endlessly at my 6 m/o niece.
I’m really concerned and thinking of hiring a new trainer, but is there hope for any of this? I’m worried that I’ll never be able to introduce her to new people and that having children will mean needing to reassess everything. I’m really starting to feel hopeless
