I just heard zoots name and my kids screaming so I ran outside to see my GSD jumping all over the neighbors poodle (i think). One of my kids let the GSD out the door while raking leaves and did not have her leashed. What I saw when I got outside was my Zoot playing, nipping and jumping at the neighbors dog. She showed NO signs of aggression at all but was obviously nipping and jumping. It wouldn't be that big of a deal except that the neighbors wife is afraid of our dog and their 15 year old was swinging at Zoot trying and screaming at the top of his lungs. His actions made Zoot all that much more excited. Zoot finally ran across the yard and into the garage when my wife and teenage son got to her - I think she knew that she was in trouble.
I will be having a stern talk with the child who let our hyper puppy out unleashed and unobserved.
What is your advice?
Just for your information we have been struggling with dog aggression from Zoot when she is leashed for months now. She will see a dog and show teeth, bark and lunge. We have been walking away, turning her around, stuffing her with treats to distract and putting her in a plotz. I drove to petsmart just to work her around some other dogs this afternoon and I was able to calm her down enough to meet another puppy for a few minutes with no incident.
What more can we or should we do?
