Sorry ive been off the radar a bit Recently- had a hectic few weeks! I do however want to pick everyone's brilliant brains. For all her good points, indie has got an awful jealous side. I've stopped saying hello to other dogs because she'll tell them off! And also, when walking with either of her 'friends' (ie. dogs she knows and plays with regularly) she'll sometimes stop her friend and the other dog playing by putting herself between them- and then once the second dog has gone, bark madly at her friend. Other times she'll quite happily play with the other dog and ignore her friend for a while. One time, we walked with a friend if mine for the first time, they played beautifully off lead, had a great time, walked on lead together to a cafe and then when the dogs owner came back- he got excited (and jumped up at his owner) and indie went mad, really barked and half growled etc. it's just odd. I don't see her as a confident dog anymore, fearful- but very defensive- so she'll assert herself.
I'm not really sure What to do :s she's certainly tenacious and feisty in character. She was attacked on-lead when she was younger but I don't see at as stemming into this- it seems to be possessive. I don't know what it is, but any advice would be fab. for all who don't know, she's 13 month entire bitch (not had a season yet).
Sorry for the long post
