I have a 3 year old female pit mix that I adopted a couple of years ago and she has been around horses since I got her but she just recently started barking and chasing them and nipping at their legs when she gets excited, like when someone is coming down the driveway or when my other dog starts barking at something completely different. Or when the horses get excited and run around, she'll start chasing them. She has already been kicked three times so I started using a shock collar but only use the button that makes it beep, and that gets her attention and she stops but I would like to end it altogether.
Also, she has a bit of possession aggression but not towards people, just other animals (she even nipped my horse when he sniffed her ball). She loves to play with other animals as long and theres no food or toys around, she doesn't even guard our property from out neighbors pomeranians who wander over here sometimes. just sniffs them and tries to play.
Any suggestions for either of these issues would be great.
