I've never had any issues with my dog meeting other dogs until recently. She is a 2 yr old kelpie x and her whole life has been surrounded with dogs, cats and children.. Cats and kids are still okay but lately she has been aggressive to other dogs, especially when she thinks they're trying to steal her ball or her mum.
I try to re-socialise her by taking her to local dog parks etc but it's always a gamble. If there is a small breed there, I can't even think about letting her in as she just seems to want to eat it. Her growls are like something I've never heard before.
I want to be able to take her to my friends' houses and to the beach etc but atm I can't risk it.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can socialise my puppy again and get her used to all other dogs?
