Hello! I currently have a 3 year old purebred Border Collie. She's passed obedience at 5 months, excelled at Agility level 1, and when she was a puppy she was constantly taken to a dog park. She gets a long with a few dogs that she's known a long time..but if she sees any others..she freaks right out. I haven't found out yet..thank god..but I'm pretty sure she'd attack them if given the chance. Lately, she'll even jump up to snap at people walking by me. I know she's protective..but this is too much. I've been being really firm with her when she barks at other dogs, and I keep her on a close leash. I punish her for snapping at people, but it doesn't seem to be stopping her. She's settled a bit more in the car when she sees other dogs now..but I'm petrified that one day she'll attack something, and have to be put down. She's fine with everything else..she even plays with the cats I have. But how can I stop her aggressive behavior?
