Hi everyone,
I am getting a little concerned with Chance; he has been showing some leash aggression towards other dogs and people while we are out. I have only been walking him in early morning to avoid passing people/dogs on the sidewalks. The aggression I have noticed only occurs when I am on the other end of the leash. If someone else is walking him, he seems to be fine. Could this have something to do with being protective over me?
I have always socialized him, he went to puppy school, and then he attended agility classes. He has a brother at home (a miniature schnauzer) and we also dog-sit my grandmothers golden retriever Yo-Yo when she is out of town. He has always been great with them, until the last time we watched Yo-Yo. He started to get protective of his toys and the rec-room (where we spend most of our time). When Yo-Yo comes down to the rec-room, Chance
