[quote=Anonymous]My dog is reactive on a leash but perfectly well behaved at home.  I’ve worked with trainers but it’s never clicked and frankly it’s not worth it to me since it’s fairly easy to cross to the other side of the road if I see another dog approaching.  A couple of times unrestrained dogs have approached him which scares him.  There’s been some growling in these cases but really he is just a fluff ball and he doesn’t bite (it would be the unrestrained dog’s fault if he did in that circumstance, but again it hasn’t happened).  Dog does great at daycare or off leash at a dog park, so it’s really a leash situation.

As for the barking at our window/door, I do not train that out of him because I like it.  I wanted a dog that would let me know when people approach the house.  He doesn’t bark except in that situation (for example, if he is outside in the fenced in yard, he doesn’t bark).

Basically the things that mattered to me, like being socialized for doggy daycare or being tolerant of visitors in the house, are the things I trained for.  The things that didn’t, I didn’t.[/quote]
