Massive Walking Issues

[db_sampson]

ok so i just took bella for a walk for the first time in a few days, she hasnt been walked the last couple of days because all she wants to do is bite and tug on her lead, then today i thought id see if she would stop that after a few minutes and she did, shes still wont leave it alone completely though. Then a few minutes later her attention turned to an old lady on her foot path, she started pulling towards her then for the first time ever she started to growl and bark at her , this is the first time ever she has growled or even barked at any person except for the occasional bark at people wandering the street at night. its completely shocked me how aggressive she got for no apparent reason, what started as trying to stop her biting at her lead has given me a whole new much worse problem, help please i want to be able to walk her without her going apeshit.. im also calling a dog training centre in the morning..

ohh and people who let there dogs get out are just asking for trouble on that one walk i had a dog sneek up behind me that i didnt notice till bella tried to run back through my legs at it, then some little thing tried to follow us up the road, then to cap that off as we were walking into my front yard another dog from the corner of my street got out and rushed at bella.

A 'dog training Centre' ?

I would suggest you give us your city/town, and then contact a good trainer who someone may recommend!!

Sounds as if your pup and you woul;d benefit much more from one-to- one sessions .

Agree with persephone- whereabouts are you located?

im in ipswich, near brisbane.. what i meant by the dog training centre thing was somewhere or someone that can do one on one lessons preferably at home, any suggestions of good trainers would be great thanks..
