Hi Sharonda, Glad to hear you are so willing to help your friend resolve
this issue. Right now, I have more questions than answers for you. But,
hopefully some of your answers will give me an idea of some things you can
try. Also, there are many people on this list who are far better at
applying positive training methods to this situation. Hopefully you will
hear from them as well.
I am wondering what techniques you have used to help her deal with this
issue. Example, r u using positive training methods or is the dog getting
punished whenever it shows aggression? Have you been able to find a pattern
or specific situation that sets the dog off? Example, does it react to men
with beards, long hair, men carrying objects, etc? How long have the dog
and handler been together? Has this always been an issue or did something
happen to potentially trigger it?

Hello all,
I've been on this list for a while, but usually am just reading. This
time, I have a very important question:
I have a friend whose dog guide seems, at times, to be aggressive. He
has gotten a lot better though. It seems to be toward men mostly, but
it doesn't happen
all the time. He also doesn't seem to like people that look
suspicious. He will try and snap them, but only once. I have tried to
help her with this issue.
It seems to get better, but it isn't totally gone. She is very
frustrated about it, because, if he snaps one too many times, it could
cost her her partner.
She has actively worked on this, and she wants this behavior eradicated.
Can you all please provide some suggestions of what she should do?
Thanks a million.
Sharonda
