Danois Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Re being brachy - is she a CKCS? I always understood that CKCS are not a brachy breed Not as obviously as the main ones, but seeing they don't really fit into either of the other two types, they would probably be classed as brachy Ah I had read they were not classed at brachy but could suffer from the same airway obstruction syndrome as brachy breeds (eg pugs, boxers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RANDCMOORE31 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I can't offer any advice - but thought you might like to know that you're not alone. I'm assuming Miley is the cavalier in your photo? I have a five year old female cavalier - and I have exactly the same problem. She lives with 3 other dogs - so is well used to other dogs - but everytime we see a dog out on a walk (even over the other side of the road) she barks and lunges. I feel that rather than aggression - it is fear - as if another dog actually comes near her - she will squeal and try to hide behind me. The only thing I've had any success with - is to distract her - I keep talking to her, try and change direction - or move quickly past - keeping her attention on me - rather than the other dog. I agree with you that it is extremely embarrassing! My cavalier does not appear to have any aggression in her personality though - which is partly why I believe it is fear. She also has throat problems - so we use a harness when walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugUrPup Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 I am going to try some methods I have read here, today on our walk and also organise a behaviorist to come next week. In regards to brachy breed.. I meant, similar problems as brachy breeds sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
