Major issue with my dog this week. He's taken to lunging at cars and growling, it's really intense and stressful.
I've tried; Distracting him with treats Slightly tugging the lead prior to the car getting to us Telling him to leave/stop/back
All to no avail. I'm resigned to only walking him around fields to avoid. But I can't avoid cars forever.
Has anyone had any similar issues? How did you resolve them? I've booked a session with a dog trainer tomorrow, but I can't just £50 very often.
Distracting him with treats
Are the treats tasty enough? Up the ante with some raw steak?
My brother had this problem with their lab. It only took a couple of sessions with a trainer followed by doing what they said to solve. Hope its as easy for you too.
