Hovawart Fear Agression

[Janet Shep]

Hi
I have a 4 year old Hovawart who is dog selective and will lunge and bark on the lead at some other dogs, I fell this is escalating as I am becoming wary each time we approach a dog and she is aware of this and so feels she must react more frequently
I would love to get any advise from people who have overcome this as I am becoming a ninja walker, avoiding contact with anyone
Thanks
Janet

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

Please start by having a read of the page linked below, but if you have any questions or feel anything doesn't fit your situation, do shout out. In fact, please come back anyway with pictures, we don't come across Hovawarts very often.
