Today my husband and I took Rocky out for a walk. At one point, far ahead, I saw a jogger coming our way on the sidewalk, so I led my pup over to the grass and told him to sit. I gave him lots of petting and high voiced praise as he sat, spotted the jogger and pricked his ears. Suddenly, his panting got heavier, and I could just sense his sudden agitation. As the jogger closed in on us, Rocky became frantic, growling and barking at him until he passed us and even then, Rocky stayed agitated until about two or three minutes later, after the jogger was out of sight.
Now we have tried group trainings (he passed both classes), shock collars (the one that vibrates not shocks), a spray bottle technique, and even just having strangers who enter our house give him treats each time they come in, and nothing has worked. Advice? Rocky needs your help!
