Hi
Just collected Barney from the kennels today (he was there 3 nights), asked if he was ok and the lady said yes but he certainly didn't like other male dogs being walked passed his kennel.
A few weeks ago when we were training for flyball barney was attatche d (not injured) by another entire male whilst he was stood at the side of me on the lead. Since that day he has his back up and barking madly at ever entire male.
Today when i got back from the kennels i took him straight out on his usual off lead walk and after 10 mins or so he spotted a border terrier, the man put him on the lead but barney was off and proper went for this dog, me running after, the man was fuming obviously i put myself in between (which i said i would never do) but i was really worried what Barney would do, the man was more concerned because he had a baby on his back in one of those frame things which i didn't notice at first. I eventually got Barney i apologised - i was so embrassed and upset, he give me the speech about controlling my dog!
In all i could have cried - WHAT has happened to my dog.
I left him on the lead for most of the walk, only letting him off for a swim, i was on pins for the rest of the walk.
Is this just a combination of being attatched himself, being 4 days in kennels, or has Barney now turned to Demon dog, only entire males he can't tolerate female are ok.
Any advice would be welcome.
