Hi!
I have been having problems with my Katie. She is a super mutt as I like to call her. We have NO idea what she is as we got her from a pound. She used to be super super shy. She wouldn't let anyone but us touch her(and my mom). She has since come out of her shell and loves all our friends and realatives. She is still very skiddish. Loud sudden noises scare her. My daughters friends running around scare the crap out of her. I have to be very watchfull of her or put her in a another room b/c she has nipped b/f. In the last few months she has become very protective/argessive of our property. She barks her head off at the people on the street or someone she doesn't know coming in our yard. I can always get her to back down by having her lay down. When she is out in the yard she thinks the street is her yard as well. She barks and charges. Of course normal people do not know they can just yell at her and she will back down and go running. How do I train her to realize it's OK for people to walk down the street, they won't harm her. I really hate that she has become so agressive, what can I do?
