[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two standards a male and female. The male has certain dogs he vehemently dislikes, the female barked at all dogs, but they both settled down around 3 - poodles have a long teen age phase.  I also had to always have a pocket of treats of various values and put them in a sit before they lock on to the offending dog and give them a treat if they stay calm.  It eventually worked. They are smart enough to control their impulses with training but some don't care to do so if the treat isn't high value enough.  We use biscuit type for garden variety dogs walking by and the pill pockets for dogs they really don't like. I also avoid being on the same side of the street as other dogs if I can help it since keeping two under control is harder than when i just had one[/quote] OP here. high value treats is a great idea.  My dog is very food-motivated.  I already take treats with me, because we do small training exercises on our walks, but I need to get something higher value for this particular situation.  Because in that moment with the neighbor dog, my dod did not GAF about anything, he was completely fixated on that other dog.  Thanks for that suggestion. [/quote]
