Can anyone shed any light on whay my 5 yr old cocker, Molly, has suddenly started barking at all and sundry?! I've been off work for 7 months, and have been walking the legs off my dogs. All of a sudden, she gets the woofs! She's like a hooligan! If a dog comes up to her, she's been known to snap at it's face. Unless the other dog is smaller then her. She has no problem with them! I tend to think she's scared of the bigger dogs. What to do about it though, I don't know! She nearly had the face of a friendly collie just now! The embarassment!! She is a very spoilt girl too. I dont know whether that has anything to do with it!
I might have to go to a behavourist( !?) to try and get my normal, ( well, normalish!) dog back!
Any advice please?!
