Cupar is confusing me. My goal at the moment is to get Cupar to a stage where he can walk past on lead, all dogs without reacting.
My eldest granddaughter (she's 19 years old) and I walk together with her mums dog, he's a wee sweetheart Cocker spaniel.
Cupar hates him, they're both entire, Max is nearly 3 and Cupar would have killed him when he was a puppy, I'm not sure if given the chance, he wouldn't try now.
We have a routine now, she must walk in front with Max and Cupar and I behind, when we stop both dogs are not allowed to touch, as if Max approaches Cupar, his eyes turn devil dog and he has such a lovely set of pearly whites that he shows brilliantly.
We can only walk in places where the dogs are on lead ALL the time.
I do think we're improving with walking past strange dogs, he's managing to walk past most dogs now without any reaction, we walked past a beautiful big black lab today and it was like walking a normal dog, apart from him looking for his squeezey cheese.
For the past two years I have been walking with my granddaughter and Max, yet Cupar will not tolerate him in his space.
Is this likely to improve?
