Hello I am new to this forum and I’m very glad that I found it I would like to ask if anyone has had the issue I am going through or if anyone can please help me figure out how to stop this behavior. I have a female boxer she just turned 3 two days ago and whenever she sees another dog her level of excitement makes her hairs on her back stick up and she barks a lot but she just wants to play she really loves other dogs but she barks very loud and ignores me when I tell her to stop. Whenever she sees another dog it’s like I’m invisible and nothing that I do stops her from wanting to bark . If she is on a walk and she sees a dog she barks and does anything in her power to try to drag me in that direction even if it means she starts choking from pulling me hard . This has been going on for a year what can I do ? I avoid other dogs I don’t know interact with her as much as I can ( take different sidewalks or go at times when there aren’t as many dogs outside) because her behavior seems scary or off putting to other dog owners but I know she’s not being aggressive because she plays with 10 pound poodles but I know the dogs and the owners know this is her behavior when she is excited . Any advice or tips for me so I can correct this behavior ? How can I get her to listen to me and stop behaving that way . I have tried bringing her favorite treats with me but it isn’t effective .
