Leash aggression

[coneye]

Just wondering how you did  with the dog , was it fixed ,  Made me wonder if it was you not the dog ,, reason i say that is  in the past i've always had big dogs , 2 boxers who were  so obeidient i did'nt even need a leash , then  a massive sheperd , who was good with or without the leash ,, then  we had  rottweilers , one a male  , the later one a female  , each and eveyone of these dogs were great on and off lead , they were all gentle giants ,,  but  when the wife took the rottys for a walk  , they were different ,  epseielly the female rotty , she was such a loving gentle dog ,    we found out after she died , even the neighbors kids used to jump the fence to play with her when we were out . But when out with the wife , she would get very protective ,  one day a guy stopped to talk to the wife , and she attacked his dog when it  came in for a pat of the wife , EVERY other time she was gentle with dogs cats and people ,  just changed when the wife took her out  on leash ,

I always told the wife they could sence her being nervous , and stopped her walking the dogs

It sounds more like the dog was resource guarding your wife.

 

Please don’t blame her. It’s not her fault.

Lol,,, The rottys died years ago   i certainly never blamed any of the dogs, i blamed my wife , i think her nervousness when out on her own  the dogs could sence it and got protective, she was always very nervous especielly after the female attacked another dog , when its owner stopped for a chat , it did get to the stage where i stopped the wife walking the dogs in the street  on her own ,and instructed her only to take them to the dog beach   and immidietly unleash  them  , just walk and let them follow and play with other dogs , both the rottys would generally ignore other dogs and just casually follow  , but were trained to come back when called    off leash there was never a problem , only on leash when walking in the street and only with the wife never with me
