- Aubrey (RIP 5-4-12), Aubie Shug (DOB 3-23-12)
Aubie is around other dogs every day. She's fine with my dad's dogs except when people are outside. She gets excited and if you pet the others, she gets even more excited and in the other dog's faces. We haven't had a real problem until today when one dog finally had enough. She growled to warn Aubie, which Aubie obeys with the other dogs and backs away, but this time Aubie kept on. The other dog snapped at her and then there was a dog fight. Of course, Aubie is big and strong and I had a hard time getting them separated, but luckily someone was there to help. Aubie doesn't jump on the other two even when they snap, but she does this one. I think it may be because she's always avoided Aubie and the others played with her while she was growing up.
My question... what are some good techniques to practice controlling her excitement? She does not listen at all when she gets excited like that when normally she listens very well. I'm a small lady, so I have nip this because I am not strong enough to grab her up if she starts fighting.
