Arthur doesn't like west highland terriers or bishon frise, there are actually a coupleof dogs we regularly see that he lunges at on the school walk that he seems to want to guard us from!! It started this time last year probably when he was 1 ish and un neutered. When I say he doesn't like them , its mainly just when he is on the lead and he can seem quiet aggressive. Off lead he is fine, he charges at all dogs but generally this ends in play. A couple of times with he has played with dogs off lead and it has taken a turn towards not being playing, but not worryingly so. I have taken to trying to re start some training with him on lead, making him sit when he sees 'target' dogs and waiting calmly until they pass, I tell the owners what I am doing and they are usually fine with it, a couple of times I've got f funny looks, but eventually my idea is to be confident tht if I tell him, on lead or off to sit and wait and ignore dogs that he otherwise try to lunge at alone. I think if you know your dog, which you do you can try and manage the situation,I have had times where I have been mortified at what Arthur is doing when he's pulling and barking and going mental and I'm trying to get him to sit and calm, but I just think at least were doing something positive by training... I'm not explainin this very well sorry x
