I've read about RAGE syndrome, and I'm afraid Lulu is on her way. It goes beyond the guarding, she's mean to other dogs. We have problems with her at dog parks, and if Ghost gets in a playful mood, Lulu gets nasty and lunges and snarles. We take her to dog parks because we don't want to leave her while we take Ghost, she does get upset if we do that. We usually have to wind up leashing and holding her because she gets nasty and runs other dogs off. She finally got one dog that wouldn't run and pinned her to the ground. Of course at home Aaron just makes excuses, but I'm finally getting him to where he sees that her behavior is problematic. Oh, and she pees. Everywhere..

Have you checked if it might be a health problem? Otherwise it calls for professinal help I guess.

She doesn't have any health problems, she's just psychotic. We've checked, and now that I'm around and really pushing him, Aaron is finally getting her into some formal training. We'll see if she can handle being around other dogs in a class, and we've spoken in depth with the trainer at Petsmart. She is well aware of Lulu's issues and lack of socialization, so whereas if she were alone she could probably go into the advanced class, we're putting her through intermediate for interaction with other dogs. She's just never been punished for guarding or charging other dogs since Aaron didn't realize how much of a problem they were.

I haven't seen the woman or dog that attacked Bodhi in awhile.
Until today.
She was walking with three other women; all had their dogs off leash.
I called out as I ran closer, "Dog, passing from behind you."
They all grabbed their dogs and put them on leashes.
Guess who didn't have a leash and took a long time to corral her dog?

Some people....

Some people have thick skulls and never learn.
