We've been fostering a little chihuahua/terrier mix for the last week or so and he's been very docile and chill.
However, since moving to Los Angeles our own dog has been getting very irate at certain dogs. He used to go to daycare most days so was very used to playing with dogs almost every day. Since moving here, he's been at home with us all day but getting regular walks and going to the dog park, but now we can't go there due to Covid, he's getting even worse. Barking at them when he's on our balcony and can't even see a dog, barking at them whenever he see's them. And he just cannot stop. Totally selective hearing. You can't raise your voice, re-assure him, none of it works. He just loses his fucking shit.
The pattern seems to be dogs that aren't neutered. He has an incredible sense of smell and can smell them a mile off. If a dog is neutered Buzz probably won't care. If a dog barks at him, regardless of being neutered or not, he will bark uncontrollably. Other than that, he's very well behaved. Not sure what to do. The only thing that works and gets him to stop is Pet Corrector. We've tried spray bottles etc but he'll just carry on.
