We have a roughly 6 month ld pit mix. What she is mixed with, I don't know.
She has never shown aggression of any kind...until yesterday.
I took her to the groomer to get her nails clipped. As we were walking in the door ( I had her on leash) a little schnauzer started barking at her. She went ballistic.
She freaked, she was trying to get to all the dogs in the place. Luckily, they had a little gated area when you first walk in and she was on leash so she didn't get anywhere. Although, she was trying to jump the gates.
Is this a sign of things to come? I knew this was a possibility of happening but somehow I guess I just never expected it.
So, I am asking for advice. How do I handle this? Is it possible to take her in public? Should I get a muzzle for public?
Thanks for any advice.
