[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have a semi-reactive dog who only barks when he meets some, but not all all, larger, also reactive dogs. After many years, I've narrowed down the list of possible dogs he might be triggered by: usually labradors/goldens/GSD type dogs who are also reactive. He can walk by a calm Great Dane or Great Pyrenees without a hitch. He usually ignores howly hounds. He's great friends with small dogs.

My dog is always on leash and we walk by quickly if he starts to jump about, lunge and bark. That's all I can do, OP. "Training" can't do more than that.

My dog is exactly the same - he is scared of and therefor leash reactive to goldens and labs - he got over it, then during covid got bad again because we weren't letting him near other dogs, and then we retrained him, got over it, and then when we got another dog, he has relapsed and we think it is to defend the puppy.  We are retraining again but anyone who knows dogs understands this and isn't offended when we are trying to pull him out of the way, get him in a sit and be calm.  90% of the time it works still working on the other 10%. I don't think we should have to get rid of him because he is occasionally leash reactive. He would never hurt the other dog it is fear driven and we are doing our best to retrain again.[/quote]
