Dear Adam:My dog, Chance, we think is a Golden retriever mix, but hes mostly white with gold patches. Also hes about 2/3 the size of a Golden Retriever.Hes 18 months old and has been loose-leash trained pretty well as long as you dont let him get distracted.The thing I dont know how to handle is that some dogs that we meet when were out jogging or walking, he goes ballistic.We have used a choke chain to train him, and it seemed to work well. But there is that occasional dog that we meet will get him so riled that he pulls, then spins, then pulls backwards, then jumps up and down, then spins again - all to get loose to go attack the other dog.What are my options?- GregDear Greg:My first question is: Why arent you using a pinch collar? This is advocated ad nausea in the bookFurthermore, distractions should not be avoided. They should be actively sought after. Distractions make your dog better. They allow you to teach your dog that you are going to make him behave EVEN AROUND A DISTRACTION.My hunch is that hes not listening to you because youre using a choke chain collar and youre not able to get a good correction. If you WERE getting a good correction, he wouldnt be throwing a tantrum.He cant be watching the other dog and watching you at the same time. If he has to worry about you sneaking off and getting caught at the end of the leash (where he gets a correction from the collar) then hes not going to have enough room in his brain left to think about going after the other dog.To read more of my dog training ramblings, read about my book (click below): http://tinyurl.com/4efaqSecrets of a Professional Dog Trainer!
