Our cockapoo, two years old last August, has become very protective of the house and its environs and the behaviour is escalating. At first it was just barking, then snapping and today a little nip when her path crossed the supermarket delivery man’s. ( We do try to keep her away from the source of her distress but this was a slip up). It was a sort of toothless nip if you know what I mean, no blood or pain.
However, we know we have to do something about this. We have been to training classes before and she is generally good, very treat based. She will walk to heel, sit, lie down, wait for food. Recall not so good unless the word chicken is used!
My question is there are two dog behaviourists near us. One uses the pack method, the other thinking dog which I think is clicker based. Do you have any thoughts on which one is best?
