[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, you need to re-train that black person = good things. Like a food treat every time you see a black person.

Our dog used to bark like mad at anyone approaching our house or anyone walking toward her on the sidewalk. Now, she makes a big exception: mail carriers. She recognizes them by uniform and even recognized and gets SO EXCITED when she sees the mail truck. Why? Because our mailman gives her a treat every time sees her. Now, mail carrier = source of happiness. No joke, mail truck was driving down street, dog sees it and pulls in that direction, sits down in that “trying to be good” all happy and wagging way, and mail truck slowed down to toss her a treat.

Now obviously you won’t have an assortment of black people giving the dog treats as you walk, but you can serve that role. [b]Every time dog noticed black person, say treat word like “good!” and give dog treat. Lots of this over and over. You have to be alert and quick because you have to get to dig before dog starts to bark - in that moment of dog noticing but not yet reacting. [/b]Good luck! [/quote]

Good advice here.  I had a dog who was a protective breed, and had to use this method anytime we passed anyone on the sidewalk.  Agree you have to be quick.  After a while, he started looking to me any time someone passed, since he knew he'd get a treat.[/quote]
