Hello everyone,
Im new to this forum, glad to meet you. I have a male toy poodle who is now almost 9 years old with no health problems. He has a kind and sweet character and is very friendly with people, my turtles and he doesn't attack cats. Since he was a puppy he seemed afraid of the other dogs. I used to take him to a dog park to let him socialise, but he always seemed to avoid geting near them. I tried to mate him several times but it didn't work. I even left him to house of the female dog's owner for some hours. What he did was to just sit beside the dor, waiting for me and crying. Lately he isn't just afraid. He is just attacking every dog he meets in the street, tries to bite them and barking all the time. He is also attacking big and agressive dogs and Im afraid to walk him now. The only exeption is when we are to the vet's office. There he just stays still in the waiting room, between the other dogs trembling of fear.
Last week me and my husbund desided to take him to a friend's house. He has a big yard and a female chaw chaw puppy that is 1 year old. The pup was always trying to play with him, but he was so agressive and nervous, and was trying to bite the other dog all the time and the owner asked me to hold him until we left. All this time I was holding him, my dog was watching the other one like mad, making sure it wasnt anywhere near him...
Any suggestions?
Please excuse my grammatical and spelling mistakes, as english isn't my first language.
Thank you in advance
